No Admission or Programme.

Ocean Park Arena is situated between Cardiff city centre and Cardiff Docks. There is an indoor training area and a second 3G pitch of smaller dimensions to suit youth football. The main pitch has spectator access behind the near goal and along the left hand side, where there are also a couple of 100 seat atcost stands.

The match was 4th versus 14th (out of 15) in the league table and went pretty much to form. Clwb Cymric were 3-0 up inside half an hour, with three quality finishes and had also hit the crossbar before they opened the scoring, as well as having another effort deflected against the woodwork shortly before halftime. Ten minutes into the second half they rounded off the scoring, when a shot on the turn went over the ’keeper from 30 yards out, finding the top corner. They did manage to hit the crossbar once more, but never looked like adding to their goal tally in a routine win.

The win lifts them up to third in the table, some 10 points adrift of leaders Vale United and five behind second placed Cardiff Airport, who have three games in hand on the other two. Unfortunately for Clwb Cymric, the four teams below them have enough games in hand to go above them as well, so gaining promotion is not going to be easy for them.
