Never watched this match before, great entertainment. Despite a hatful of first half errors, Dai Manley was electric. Very effective for Newbridge too. Surprising he didnt get greater international recognition when he had the likes of Proctor and other wings (Wyatt? Some other Cardiff dentist?) ahead of him.
Yes good decision to regionalise welsh rugby. What a great game from two committed teams and very sad that we won’t see crowds like this again. It’s about money now and not about wearing your club badge and having pride in your local team. Sorry but wrong decision IMO
I was there. Love ponty and all of those legends.😘
Arguably the greatest Welsh Cup Final. I remember watching this as clear as day. Thrilling rugby, full house, great memories
Best Welsh final ever.
I was there. Hell of a day. Quite emotional watching it.
Great entertainment. I doubt the regions could ever pull crowds like this.
I was there. Superb.
That was one helluva game!
Great memories.
I watch this and weep when I think what Welsh club rugby has turned into. Just happy I was around in the late 80s/90s to have these memories.
I am English and love this. Money has ruined it.
I was there. Proudest ever day as a lifelong Ponty supporter. Sheer magic.
I'm a neath supporter and we had a great afternoon with pontypridd fans in the pub before the game, great set of people

Was a great game to watch for my first live game of rugby
Leigh was a powerful man in that era
