Garden Village booked their place in the final of the Tony Nakonecznyj West Wales Senior Cup on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over St. Joseph’s.

Steven Evans and Gary Davies were the heroes for the home side as their strikes set-up a cup final date with Welsh Premiership hopefuls Neath Athletic.

Both goals came during the first-half but it could have been more had it not been for visiting ‘keeper Chris Didenko who played extremely well between the sticks for the Swansea Senior League side.

The home side did have chances early on but the deadlock was broken in the eighth minute when Steven Evans beat Didenko from close-range. Lee Rastatter re-claimed possession from St. Joseph’s and played a defence splitting pass through to Evans who struck the ball into the roof of the net.

After numerous amounts of chances, including an Ashley Richards strike which rattled the crossbar, Garden Village added a second shortly before the break. Cameron Hopkins played the ball deep into the heart of the Saints’ box from a corner and player-coach Gary Davies was quickest to respond as he found the bottom corner of the net from eight-yards.

The visitors looked a completely different side second-half as they kept a lot more possession and forced Norman Ward into making a few fine saves.

But last season's Swansea League champions were unable to turn their dominance into goals and Garden Village went on to win and confirm their place in the final of this competition for the very first time.
