West Wales Premier League
Seaside 0 Garden Village 1 (att 209)
This year's West Wales Premier League 'groundhop' has worked out fairly well for me, as I need five of the six venues.
It got underway with a Friday evening game at Llanelli-based Seaside AFC. It's the second time the club has staged a hop game, but they've moved a short distance since they hosted a match I went to in 2017.
The players still change at the old ground, then have a short walk to a new 3G facility at Penrhos. I assume that's a temporary arrangement, as new changing rooms look to be nearing completion next to the pitch.
It's a typical 3G set up. The playing area is floodlit, enclosed by a high fence, and has a spectator area running along most of one side. It's perfectly adequate for most games, but a bit of a squeeze for a crowd topping 200.
Both sides have made indifferent starts to the season, and Seaside were left ruing missed chances as they fell to an unlucky defeat. To be fair to the home side, it wasn't so much that they failed in front of goal, more that the Garden Village keeper had an inspired evening.
The only goal was scored about 10 minutes into the second half. Seaside then tried hard to find what would have been a deserved equaliser, but to no avail.
