Located between Lodge Road and Church Road. The scarcity of level land in this area (and elsewhere in hilly areas of South Wales) is solved by having a combined football and rugby pitch. Standard rugby posts with the crossbar 10 feet above the ground have an additional crossbar set at football level, 8 feet above the ground. A junior football game is in progress, being played, not end-to-end, but across the pitch, using smaller than standard-sized goalposts.
