Road to the Welsh Cup Final - New Round New Team

It was Welsh Cup for the lower teams of Welsh football with the JD Welsh Cup Qualifying Round 2 on Saturday. My team for this round was Tiger Bay who were on the road to Sully.

Tiger Bay’s hopes of emulating their giant killing run of two years ago when they reached the third round proper were dashed when they lost 4-1 away at Sully Sports. Sully were now my team in today’s draw, which was live on Facebook at 11am. Well not quite on time but I don’t think the waiting hundreds minded much only for the live feed not to work for me, bugger.

I was now reliant on the fixtures being up loaded somewhere on the internet. The search begin. You would think the FA of Wales would have someone in the IT department on hand to update their website as the draw was made, it would make the organisation look professional. Truth is no one was rushing to update their websites. The website came good in the end.

It is the battle of the seasiders for the next round with Sully Sports home to Llantwit Major.

Of interest to me like always is the fate of the teams based in the capital in today’s draw, Bridgend Street, who have a home game against Goytre. They were the only Cardiff team to make it through the qualifiers. In the first round proper one new Cardiff teams enter the competition, Caerau Ely (A). Cardiff Met who now play in the Welsh Premier League will join in the third round.
