Tremorfa Park
St Albans 3 - 1 Pentywn Dynamos
Azu
Our final game ended in defeat, although we played some really good football. We went behind early doors following a defensive mix up on a corner, which had us on the back foot straight almost straight away. You could see that this game really had no meaning to us, and the after effects of losing our chance to win the league in such dramatic fashion in our previous match were still raw. We played some great stuff at times with Will Fry, Sam Willis and Daniel Gibbins linking particularly well down the left. It stayed 1 nil going in at half time.
The second half was similar to the first with St Albans just shading it, but we were passing the ball well and were looking for that chance to equalise. Around 10 mins in they made it 2-0 with a well taken shot from the edge of the box, but we still kept playing. Soon after conceding, Daniel Gibbins went on a tremendous run - beating 4 players before being hacked down in the box - this was a stick on penalty to me - but the ref waved play on. With 15 mins left I made several changes to ensure evreyone played in our last game, St Albans made it 3-0 and sealed their victory. Substitute Sam Azu grabbed a deserved consolation goal for us late on and we ended the season by scoring the last goal at least!
I wonder if that penalty shout had been given - and had we scored it to make it 2-1 - what the final result might have been. In all honesty the better team on the day won.
