Interesting that the article was written by Grahame Lloyd. In fact, he wrote a number of these small reports for the Guardian on both Cardiff and Swansea. At the time he was also commentating (very badly) on Real Radio. I suspect he covered this FA cup tie for RR as there are other games I remember him covering on radio that I've spotted he's written about for the Grauniad. As a newspaper, why send someone else to a game when one of your own is broadcasting it live and can write a few words afterwards? I find it slightly strange as I can't say I've really come across newspaper reports written by someone actually commentating on the game.
