Pontyclun FC’s purple patch in the cups continues with the Reserve Team qualifying for both cup finals that they have entered this year, the Bernard Martin Cup and the Greyhound Cup. Convincing victories against, firstly Bush Bluebirds dispatching them with a 5-2 win and then a 2-0 shutout against Nelson Cavaliers sees the Reserves reach both Cup Finals for the first time.
These two convincing victories were a testament to the squad that we currently have, as due to this being a cup competition many players were ineligible to play as they had been involved in the First Team squad’s cup fixtures earlier in the season. Despite this, and even for one fixture Reserve Team Manager Peter Shilton having to don the gloves (playing like his namesake), they came through both games convincingly and now have two cup finals to look forward to.
The first of these finals, the Greyhound Cup, will be played on 24th April at Llanbradach Park against top of the table Penrhos at Llanbradach Park, kick off 6pm. We are hoping to take a large contingent of fans with us which will include all of the first team squad making the effort to support the boys. If you’d like to watch but are struggling to get to the venue then contact enquiries@pontyclunfc.com and we can look to arrange a lift.
The Bernard Martin Cup will be played against Cwrt Rawlin on Tuesday 5th May at Llanbradach Park, kick off 6.15pm. This fixture was postponed and the re-arranged date has yet to be broadcasted.
