One group was from grangetown and riverside I thought, the other Rumney/mellons? I guess this sort of inter suburb rivalry has always gone on, it was rife in the 80’s particularly between the Docks and Fairwater. A guy I knew from Pentrebane said he and his mates stopped following us as it was too much hassle. No knives back then mind, no cowardice.
