	Loughor Rovers AFC - Junior Section
		Loughor turned the tables in the final quarter piling the pressure on the Llangennech goal, that was magnificantly defended.
		Loughor thought they had broken the deadlock in the thirteenth minute, but it was disallowed due a foul tackle in the build-up.
		Having had the lion's share of possession, Loughor went 2-0 down within minutes from two poorly-defended goals, the first when a cross was allowed to reach a forward in the box, the second when a forward was allowed to run from 40 yards around the defence.

	Loughor Castle

	Loughor photos, maps, books, memories - Francis Frith
		Be the first to add a memory of Loughor.
		It is a pity that the pace of modern life makes so many visitors miss Loughor Castle; its present situation alongside the busy A484 road means that unless one is actively hunting for this fine medieval castle, attention will be focused on the traffic and bridge ahead.
		Loughor, the starting point for this Carmarthenshire tour, is not actually in the county; it is separated from it by the river Loughor, and is on the outskirts of Swansea.
