Radnorshire Cup, First Round
Rhosgoch Rangers 8 Bronllys 0 (att 33)
It wasn't until this morning that I confirmed a long-held suspicion that Rhosgoch had moved to a new ground since I saw them play at Portway Field, nothing more than a pitch in a farmer's field, back in 1993.
The current pitch is behind the village school, and facilities are better but still limited. Part of the near side is roped off, dugouts are on the far side and there's a few advertising hoardings to give it the feel of a "proper" ground.
The game was always likely to be a comfortable home win. Once Mid Wales League Rhosgoch went ahead, in the seventh minute, it was simply a matter of how many they'd score against opponents who play one level lower, in the Mid Wales South League.
Five of the goals came before half time. In the second half Rhosgoch eased off, and Bronllys had the strong wind behind them, but a consolation goal always looked unlikely.
Ground no: 3,650
