Earthquake stops play at Port Talbot

Pitch invaders and the weather are common causes of play being held up, but in the Welsh League on Saturday, it was an earthquake. Experts have said the quake – which shook parts of the UK on Saturday – was the biggest for a decade.
     The British Geological Survey (BGS) said the epicentre was 20km (12 miles) north of Swansea, with a 4.4 magnitude at a depth of 7.4km (4.6m). Port Talbot is 10 miles from Swansea and the tremors were felt as the town’s football side faced Taff’s Well.
