Mumbles Rangers v Bryn Rovers

5.30pm 21 September 2024

West Wales Premier League
Mumbles Rangers 7 Bryn Rovers 0 (att 160)

A pre-match glance at the league table suggested this would be a comfortable home win, with Bryn pointless and bottom.

To be fair they didn't look too bad early in the game, and play was fairly even until Mumbles went ahead midway through the first half. A second goal soon followed, and not long later it was 3-0.

It could easily have got worse for Bryn before half time. A Mumbles penalty came back off the frame of the goal, although from where I was standing there was at least a suspicion it had first crossed the line.

In the end it mattered little, as things did gets worse for Bryn in the second period. Mumbles played some neat football, scoring for more goals for an easy win. It's likely to be a tough season for Bryn Rovers.

Mumbles Rangers do have their own ground, but in recent years have used the excellent facilities at Swansea University. They previously shared the main stadium pitch but now have use of a newly-installed 3G.

It's adjacent to the stadium and is designed for rugby as well as football. Spectators are accommodated along one side, where this also a grass bank that usefully increases the capacity. There's a pair of dugouts on the far side.
