In search of a game with something still on it, it was a case of heading 200 miles West, to Division 1 of the Carmarthenshire League, where the league leaders Pontlliw knew that a win tonight would give them the title. Second in the table Ammanford Reserves were a point behind, but had already completed their fixtures, whilst third placed CK Swiss Valley also trailed them by a point, but they still have one match left, which is away at Felinfoel.

The hosts, who were fourth from bottom in the league table, were totally overwhelmed by a blistering start from the league leaders. They were 0-2 down inside five minutes and 0-6 down before we had played 25 minutes. It was certainly nothing to do with a lack of effort, it was just that Pontlliw were just too good for them. A seventh goal didn’t arrive for another forty minutes of playing time, partly due to the champions elect taking their foot off the pedal and also that they brought on all their substitutes in order to give everyone a run out.

It was the first time I have been to a match across The Severn Bridge since the rip off toll charge was removed. Coming back, I had forgotten that they love to close the M4 at 8 o’clock every night at Junction 26 near Newport…….whatever they are doing (or rather NOT doing) here has been dragging on for far too long. They have unbelievably been carrying out this same section of ‘work’ now for at least the last 7 years !
