West Wales Premier League
Giants Grave 4 Cwm Wanderers 1 (att 204)
This year's West Wales Premier League groundhop concluded with a pair of games on Sunday. I skipped the first, having already been to the ground now used by AFC Glais, and settled for a single game at Giants Grave.
The club are based in Briton Ferry, and owe their unusual name to area's former shipbreaking industry. Their ground, Parc Newydd, is accessed via a driveway from a housing estate.
It's enclosed with a pair of pitches, the main one being railed off with a pair of dugouts on the near side. There's a small refreshment hut, which also offers shelter for a few spectators. I'm unsure where the changing rooms are located, but players and officials have a walk to reach the pitch.
Giants Grave were just the better side in the first half, and got their reward when they took the lead five minutes before the break.
Cwm Wanderers equalised early in the second period, and the game looked to be heading for a draw until a headed goal from a corner put the home side back in front about 15 minutes from time.
A third Giants Grave goal quickly followed, as did a fourth to round off a convincing and deserved win.
