While I was at Carmarthen, most City fans went to Penydarren Park, Merthyr. It's a bit closer to home - especially for the Valley Boys - and you're able to take your drink into the game.
Unfortunately, a few City young pups couldn't handle it and engaged in a drink throwing and then fighting contest against each other which led to a police presence and some arrests. Incredible.
As for the football, Cardiff City cruised to a 3-1 victory, nowhere near as satisfying in standards as Carmarthen but the object today is to develop fitness, nothing more.
City's side featured the rest of the first teamers in Peter Enckleman, Darren Purse, Roger Johnson, Riccy Scimeca, Darcy Blake and Joe Ledley plus first year pro Jon Brown and Academy boys. Joe Ledley played an hour, Thommo 80 minutes and the rest got a full 90.
Thommo set up JON BROWN to open the scoring on 25 minutes but Merthyr levelled when Peter Enckleman made another gaffe, this time Steins profited. THOMMO made it 2-1 at the interval after Brown's shot found him off the post.
Like Cramarthen, the second half was a non-event but City rounded off the afternoon when BILLY TAYLOR scored only 2 minutes after coming on as a late sub meeting a Darcy Blake cross.
