CARDIFF PROGRESS IN THE BOWLS GAME WITHOUT ANY JACKS!

City line up at Welshpool


CARDIFF CITY progressed to the semi-final of the FAW TINPOT THINGY TROPHY (the competition where only the £100,000 prize money holds interest) with a 1-0 victory at Welshpool in deepest Mid-Wales.


It was a youthful side for City but did include Captain Darren Purse who needed a game and a couple of players it's easy to forget are still at the club in Kevin Cooper, Matt Green and David Forde. Aaron Ramsey also played but it was another youngster, JON BROWN, who took the glory with a 85th minute free-kick winner in a hard but drab encounter on a pudding of a pitch - no suprise when it had three postponements in the last fortnight for a waterlogged ground and was only passed fit on the morning of the game this time.


Cardiff now have a tougher prospect of a home semi-final tie versus Newport County, a side featuring a few City old boys. Date to be arranged.

BBC haven't yet bothered writing a report for its own competition so who can say apathy only exists amongst the fans for it?
