Wed May 16, '07: Neath Athletic 2 - 1 Garden Village
Garden Village were victims of a late smash and grab job by Welsh League champions Neath Athletic who ensured that the Tony Nakonecznyj West Wales Senior Cup would return to Llandarcy Park for a third time for a third time.
An impressive first-half performance saw the visitors take the lead through Lee Rastatter shortly before the break, but it was the same player who put through his own net on 76 minutes to level the scoreline. Neath Athletic now had the momentum and in the very last minute were awarded a penalty which was converted by Jarrod Price.
Garden Village have a fanbase mainly consisting of supporters from Gorseinon, of where the club is based and other areas of Swansea.
