Following our memorable victory against Rhiwbina, we couldn't wait to play again - so we should have guessed that our fixture (Sat Sept 19th) against Thornhill would be called off and the following Tuesday's training would be cancelled due to rain!
So, having not kicked a ball in anger in 10 days we took the field against a Whitchurch side that had been through a tough start to the season, losing heavily several times.
Following a tentative start we found ourselves ahead inside 10 mins when - following Whitchurch's failure to clear from a corner - the ball dropped to Sam Azu, who volleyed into the roof of the net from the edge of the 6 yard box - 1 Nil!
Everyone thought that the floodgates were about to open - This was not the case. We failed to play our passing game, lacked concentration and weren't contesting enough in the middle of the park, and within 10 mins Whitchurch equalised with a well taken goal. Whitchurch now started to find their way into the game and just before halftime made it 2-1.
Following an earbashing at half time, we went straight at them and equalised 3 mins into the 2nd half - a trademark Daniel Swabey finish. Whitchurch came back at us though and restored their lead almost straight away with a long range effort that left 'keeper Bradley Preece with no chance. It was time to look for a few leaders to step up as we stared an unlikely defeat in the face! Callum Patten moved from left back into midfield and started to get our passing game going linking up well with Charlie Foulkes, ending with a box scramble and the ball dropping to Sam Willis - who smashed the ball into the net - 3-3!
Time for some changes - An injury to right back Owen Evans saw Ellis Dunsford take his place and Bradley Preece was replaced in goal by Tom Hearn, Ben Price replaced Christopher Viney to make his debut.
Finally we seemed to have worn Whitchurch down and following a free kick, the Whitchurch 'keeper could only parry to Daniel Gibbins who pounced to head home making it 4-3. Time for another change and Sam Azu went off to allow Ryan Butler to make his debut. With only 2 mins remaining Daniel Gibbins picked up the ball on the edge of the box and went at the last defender, skipped past him and slotted the ball into the corner as the 'keeper advanced. Final score 5-3.
We made hard work of this and will have to learn how to keep playing our passing game, even when the opposition try to stop us playing football.

Parc Coed-y-Nant
Pentwyn Dynamos 3 - 2 Rhiwbina
Swabey
Gibbins
Foulkes
A close encounter saw little goalmouth action in the first half, with battles being contested mainly in the middle of the park. Charlie Foulkes and Caine Morse were holding their own and all was pretty even, until 5 mins before half time - when Daniel Gibbins played a slide-rule pass through to the jet-healed Daniel Swabey he cooly drew the goalkeeper and rifled the ball into the back of the net.
Rhiwbina didnt take this lying down and came straight back at us from the start of the second half, levelling inside the first few mins. The parity was shortlived though as we came back at them from the restart - with Christopher Viney taking the ball down the right wing and sending a teasing ball into the box. Rhiwbina failed to clear and the ball dropped to Daniel Swabey, who shot forcing a great save from the keeper. The balled spilled out to Daniel Gibbins, who drilled the ball into the bottom left hand corner.
Once again Rhiwbina came at us and our defensive trio of Callum Patten, Lloyd Richards and Owen Evans blocked, tackled and closed down to keep us in the lead, keeper Bradley Preece playing almost as a sweeper at times to thwart anything that did get beyond them.
We rode the storm and with 15 mins left the ball fell to Charlie Foulkes on the left flank, he looked up , cut inside and curled the ball into the top right hand corner from all of 25 yards - 3-1!
Rhwbina didnt give up - they kept coming at us and with 5 mins left on the clock, Foulkes was adjudged - Harshly! - to have handled the ball. What folowed was an outstanding free kick from 30 yards straight into the top left hand corner, that gave Preece no chance. 3-2 .
The final 5 mins were constant pressure but we held on to win against one of the A division's top teams.

Fairwater 2 - 3 Pentwyn Dynamos
Gibbins

Swabey
A hard fought game saw us 1 nil down to a debatable penalty inside 15 mins. We rallied and began to play the Dynamos way - passing & moving - and began to take a foothold. A combination of good defending and great goalkeeping from Fairwater kept the score at 1-0 at halftime. We came out cold for the second half and quickly found ourselves 2 nil down against a team really finding their rhythm, but weathered the storm and began to fight back.
A solo effort from Daniel Gibbins, taking on 3 defenders and cooly slotting home had us back in it with 20 mins to go - but could we mount an unlikely comeback?
Yes we could! With 15 mins remaining we really started to dominate, Fairwater put 5 across the midfield and battled to hold on, but Gibbins picked out a great run from Sam Willis with a ball over the top. Willis still had it all to do as the ball dropped 25 yards out - but hammered a stunning volley into the roof of the net - 2-2!
We were really in control now as Fairwater heads dropped and kept piling on the pressure and with minutes reamaining, they failed to clear and the ball dropped to Daniel Swabey - he made no mistake and secured all 3 points.

Willis
A poor start saw us a goal down inside 3 mins and thoughts of the previous game were at the forefront of a few minds on the touchline. There was no need to worry however, as an own goal soon had us level and a goals from Sam Willis, Daniel Gibbins and Daniel Swabey ensured, what was in the end, a comfortable victory - our first in competative football.
Outstanding performances in defence from Callum Patten and Lloyd Richards, commanding displays in midfield from skipper Charlie Foulkes, Caine Morse and wide man Christopher Viney added to great finishing from the aforementioned forward trio made it a match to remember.
Saturday 5 Sept 2009
Parc Coed-y-Nant (Pentwyn Leisure Centre)
Pentwyn Dynamos 0 - 5 Maindy Corries
A close game for the most part, but heads went down after going 2-0 down. We ended up conceding 4 goals in the last 15 mins. A harsh introduction to the 11 a side game but we will learn from it.
