At last, the final game on this years South Wales Hop. This was easily the worst ground of the weekend, being a railed off pitch in a huge field, where it was a good 500 yards from the changing rooms to the pitch.

I had already visited the lunchtime match on offer, at St.Josephs, so spent the afternoon on the seafront in Penarth instead, before making the twenty minute drive east to Llanrumney.

As well as the worst ground of this trip, it was also the least welcoming club and they didn’t even bother doing any hot food or drinks, although pizza did materialise late on. The weather on all 4 days was glorious. The quality of football on offer was probably the worst I have ever watched on any Ground Hop !

So, on to the last day of the South Wales Hop and a day around the outskirts of Cardiff. There is certainly nothing scenic here and despite plenty of goals, it was too one sided as Cogan were dreadful, even allowing for having a man sent off when it was already 0-4.
