Att 84

Entry & Programme at each game £5

It was (for now) the final day of the West Wales Premier League Hop- but we knew we had a problem, or more accurately two. The first issue was that we at GroundhopUK knew that both Garden Village and West End had recent history in the Welsh League, and given the crowd we’d attracted on the Saturday there was a fair chance that many of them would have visited the Sunday selection before and so headed for home.

Ardal League South West

CLYDACH 0

MORRISTON TOWN 1 (M Jones 41)

Att 116

Entry & Programme £5

We headed into the Swansea valleys for our middle game of the day. Clydach is a centre for nickel production although anyone expecting an industrial hell hole will be very pleasantly suprised- the town is very elegant indeed, and the view from Coed Gwilym Park was quite stunning.

West Wales Premier League

MUMBLES RANGERS 7 (Jenkins 22 Evans 24 Spring 42 Amphlett 50 69 James 57 Williams 88)

Amphlett missed penalty 45

BRYN ROVERS 0

Att 160

Entry £3

Programme £2

You may recall that Chris Garner and I paid Mumbles Rangers a visit back in 2021 when Covid restrictions were starting to ease. We picked Underhill Park purely as it was a public park so the Welsh Senedd’s dictat that crowds of over 100 for an event were still banned couldn’t possibly be breached (!)

Welsh League Division 2

WEST END 1 (Hughes 46)

AFC PORTH 1 (Adshead 51)

Att 28

Entry & Programme £6

It was the day that I decided to finish off Swansea, well in Welsh League terms anyway. When the Welsh Spring Hop diverted to Swansea City’s training ground at Landore it made the fact I’d never visited West End’s home at Pri Deri Park seem rather glaring. To make things worse, when Robyn and I visited the Liberty Stadium we ended up parking near to Pri Deri Park, in the Mayhill district of Swansea. Continue reading →

SWANSEA CITY 0

LEICESTER CITY 0

Att 113 @ Landore Training Centre

Entry FREE

Teamsheet FREE

With the Welsh Spring Hop almost completely rejigged we left our hotel at Carmarthen a little earlier than usual. With the loss of the Carmarthenshire League’s fixtures I found myself feeling a pang of regret as the coach turned left out of the hotel and headed towards Pont Abraham and the M4. I remembered our 4 year stint in the Ceredigion League where we turned right and headed north; I don’t remember a club on those hops who didn’t host beautifully. It’s a shame we’ve completed the league and there’s no new grounds to visit. But that’s in the past sadly, and there was a trip to Swansea City’s training ground to ponder. Continue reading →
