The show won a BAFTA Cymru for Best Drama Series in 1992, and despite coming to an end in 1994 is still repeated regularly on S4C.

The show mainly revolves around the misadventures of Bryn Coch United, a fictional village football team, which is based on Bont Football Club, a club based in the village of Pontrhydfendigaid (of which Alun Ffred Jones was a player).

The running of the team is handled by a mix of uncapable committee members; quick-to-anger manager Arthur Picton, the slightly dim-witted linesman Wali Tomos, and Tecwyn Parri (the team's goalie and captain), arguably the most normal on the committee.

Most plots were derived from the team's attempts to win their weekly games, as well as other events held in the village, and the main characters' relationships with their families.

Later series focuses more on expanding the families of established characters, such as introducing Arthur's brother into the show, the birth of Sandra and George's twins, the death of Arthur's wife, Elsi (after appearing on screen for only one episode), and eventually seeing him re-marry in series 5.
