There's a footbridge over the Taff that connects Taff's Well (RCT) with Gwaelod Y Garth (Part of Cardiff). It can't be much more than 20 metres
Yeah, I was surprised when that article said Taffs Well was in RCT - it was only about six or seven minute drive away when I lived in Cardiff.

Unless we draw Cardiff Met I cant see us playing anyone closer, do Penarth have a football team?

Full time at USW Park. A young, yet dominant Cardiff side secure victory in what was an emphatic evening for the hosts. Goals from Kieran Evans and Isaak Davies coming either side of the interval ensure that the Bluebirds run out 2-0 victors on the night. A very promising performance by the young prospects tonight.

2-2 in the end: https://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/news...2-cardiff-city

The Bluebirds were rewarded for their attacking efforts two minutes later, with Margetson finding the back of the net. The defender fired home from close range, putting City back on level terms with 26 minutes played.
However, with 74 minutes played, City found their second leveller of the afternoon through Colwill. A low cross from the right side was pulled back towards the edge of the box, finding the midfielder in space. Colwill finished neatly into the bottom left corner, equalising for the Bluebirds.

Well this is good, picture keeps on freezing, the commentator sounds like he's over in the main stadium and now I'm getting a "content unavailable" message!

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Flaming video buffering all the time. Must be lots of people watching.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
0-0 at half time. From what I can see from the somewhat erratic coverage, we're better than them at the speculative punt forward, they're better than us at every other facet of the game.

It's as if good quality players at Academy level are having the technique coached out of them - they've started the second half pretty well though.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Reward for a much better second half showing by City - Rubin Colwell puts them 1-0 up.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
Only City's second win of the season at under 23 level as they recovered from a truly dismal first half showing to become increasingly dominant during the second period. It was good to see young players like Margetson at the back, Patten and Pritchard in central midfield and Evans out wide improve as the match wore on after difficult starts. We were definitely aided by the introduction of the lively Isaak Davies, who hit the post shortly before the goal, up front and it was another sub, Colwill who got the winner from point blank range after another effort against the woodwork with about five minutes to go. Best City players for me over the ninety minutes were Phillips in goal and Bagan.

Sam Bowen as well - apart from Zimba, none of the young lads who've been in the first team squad lately involved though.

Can't see that being just a run out to bring him back gently, much more likely it's a recurrence or a fresh injury.
0-0 at half time.
