VIDEO: Cwrt Rawlin FC vs Penrhiwfer AFC Sees Sensational Goal Scored In Welsh 7th Division Match

Manchester United and Argentina starboy Alejandro Garnacho is probably a shoo-in for the 2024 FIFA Puskas Award following his unbelievable bicycle kick goal against Everton in the Premier League.


Elsewhere on the United Kingdom, Harry Short would be considered to be part of this ballot if not for some obscure ruling that prevents non-league football goals from being nominated for this prestigious award.

Harry Short, playing for Cwrt Rawlin FC - named for a pub in Caerphilly in Wales - smashed in an absolute worldie in a seventh division match against Penrhiwfer AFC. Yes, one still cannot get around the fact that Cymric - Welsh, for the uninitiated - has words that have no vowels in them when read in English, but whatever.

This goal formed part of a thumping 5-2 victory over Penrhiwfer. A video that the 'pub club' shared has received comfortably over a million views on social media. It even led to the hashtag #PeoplesPuskas in response to the wonder hit.

Penrhiwfer's defender and goalkeeper definitely effed around and found out in the process of conceding the goal. Dawdling at the back instead of clearing ball, they contrived to loop the ball to the attentive Short, whose eyes must have lit up like a daffodil. Some 35 or so metres away from the open goals as the goalie rushed back towards them, he hit the ball as sweetly as is possible from a volley. The ball curled satisfyingly towards the top left-hand corner.

There was an inevitability about the trajectory of the ball, before it hit the net with a rustling sound that was heard around the world. Admittedly, I made this part up just to add colour to this article, but you catch my drift. The whoops, whistles and screams and joy were the perfect soundtrack to this special, special goal.
