Swansea City football club played their historic rivals Cardiff City in a round of the Carling Cup in September, winning 1-0.

Given the history between the two teams, South Wales Evening Post journalist Ben Wright was there with a video cameraman to film any trouble after the match.

As predicted, violence flared with Swans fans throwing missiles at the police after the Cardiff fans had been bussed from the scene.

The footage of the trouble, posted on the Evening Post's www.thisissouthwales.co.uk site the following day, has since had more than 9,000 downloads.

Web content editor Paul Turner said: "We knew there would be a huge amount of interest in this game as there is a big rivalry between the two clubs.

"It was clearly disappointing that there should be trouble following the match, but the threat of it was anticipated, so we had a cameraman and a reporter there ready to cover whatever happened.

"Because it had been a number of years since the two teams had played each other, this was the first time we had been able to carry video coverage of events outside the stadium.

"It was very satisfying to be able to bring the news to our readers in another format and the number of downloads of the video reveals just how successful this kind of journalism can be for regional newspaper websites if the subject matter is of a compelling nature, which clearly, this was."
