Another nice easy journey of 2.8 miles to the second game of the day. Another dull match, but at least it was nice and sunny and again very scenic.

At the end of this game, the majority of the crowd headed north for the final hop game of the day at Brecon Corinthians. I had visited them back in 1994, when they were in the top division of the Welsh League, so didn’t bother with an extra 50 miles round trip just to see another game.

A game with very little between the two teams, won by goals either side of halftime, the second being a superbly struck free kick.

The ground is more or less next door to that of Welsh League side Penrhiwceiber Rangers. The railed off pitch at the ground immediately beyond Rangers ground is where the players get changed, with another two railed pitches being further along a rough dirt track. The nearest of these two is used by Cons.
