Port Talbot’s Victoria Road to host League Cup Final
Port Talbot Town’s Victoria Road is to host the Welsh Football League Cup Final between Penydarren BGC and Ynysygerwn.
The final is to take place on Friday the 17th May with a scheduled kickoff of 19:15. Extra Time and Penalties could be used should the two sides finish the 90 minutes level.
The final will be contested by two teams from the fourth tier of Welsh football. Penydarren are eyeing a League and Cup double.
Both sides are in the final for the first time in their history and will play at the ground of a former Welsh Premier League side.
Penydarren BGC reached the final having knocked out Cup holders and promotion rivals Trefelin BGC. They beat Richie Ryan’s side despite being reduced to ten men early in the first half.
Ynysygerwn knocked out Penybont, who had been crowned Division One champions just three days earlier. Nicholas Maggs’ men beat them on penalties, with local boy Tom Phillips scoring the decisive penalty.
Penydarren Boys & Girls Club will have to travel 24.4 miles more than Ynysygerwn for the final. Ynysygerwn’s home ground of Llandarcy is 6.9 miles away from Port Talbot’s Victoria Road.
Port Talbot Town themselves reached the Quarter-Finals of the competition before being knocked out by losing semi-finalists Penybont.
