IT’S a rivalry spanning 102 years.


Tensions between the sides in 1960 saw a £350 fine for Cardiff — and players from each team dismissed for throwing mud at each other. That was the sixth round of the Welsh Cup, when Cardiff were due to play Leyton Orient in the league shortly after their game with the Swans.

With just two days between the fixtures and the Welsh FA refusing to change the date of the game, Cardiff had to put out their reserve team but Swansea played their strongest side.

Cardiff’s Colin Hudson was sent off for dangerous play and with tempers running high, Steve Mokone and Harry Griffiths were shown the red card for throwing mud at each other, leaving Cardiff down to nine and Swansea down to ten men.

It resulted in a 2-1 win for the Ninian Park side

They wouldn’t play another game until the 1980s when the rivalry was renewed.

Following a Swansea win at Vetch Field, September 1988 marks the famous “swim-away” occasion, when a group of Cardiff fans were chased into the sea by Swans fans.

It was 1993 when the Football Association of Wales banned away fans from Swansea-Cardiff fixtures. It came after a match when Swans fans ripped up seats from the stands and threw them at Cardiff fans.

Cardiff fans invaded the pitch shortly afterwards, resulting in a ban which was the first of its kind in Britain.

The last ever derby at the Vetch was played in November 1998, which resulted in a 2–1 victory to the hosts. Former Swansea striker John Williams scored in the fourth minute but goals from Julian Alsop and Matthew Bound ensured a historic win for the home side.

The ban may be lifted now but the derby games are still bubble matches, where fans are bused directly to and from the grounds rather being allowed to make their own travel arrangements.





And while the violence that has arisen at derby games cooled, the ferocity of the occasion is still very much the same.
