Welsh League, Division Three
Bridgend Street 3 AFC Llwydcoed 0 (att 60)
Having stayed in South Wales after being at Bridgend Town the previous night, a visit to Bridgend Street might have seemed logical for the Saturday. But I only ended up at this game after getting a call to say my intended game, at Cwmbran Celtic, was off having fallen victim to the morning's wet weather.
No problems with the pitch at Bridgend Street though. They play in Cardiff, and have created a neat and tidy venue in the grounds of Willows High School, in the Tremorfa area.
Seats have just been installed inside the stand, and the club have plans for more ground improvements including, I was told, a second stand on the far side. They're certainly progressing well on the pitch. They won this at a canter, two second half goals following one in the first, and look a good bet for a second successive promotion.
Their biggest headache could be keeping the place secure. The cash box at the gate has had to be chained up, following a recent attempt to steal it, and a couple of drivers returned to the vehicles after the game to find windows has been smashed. A sad state of affairs in a neighbourhood which could benefit from a thriving local football club at its heart.
