Maindy Corries 3 Pentwyn Dynamos 0
A disappointing result from a performance that deserved better. Quite simply Maindy took their chances and we did not. An evenly contested first half saw us have the better chances. Charlie Foulkes, Danny Gibbins, Steffan Prytherch and Chris Viney all had efforts well saved by the keeper. The save from Charlie's rocket of a shot was the pick of the bunch - I had a great vantage point as he hit it and it was in all the way, until the keeper sprang into action and made an excellent save.
The match was 0-0 at half time and remained that way until 10 mins into the 2nd half. A ball into the box was flicked on and deflected past Bradley by one of our defenders - a really unfortunate way to go behind. Unfortunatley this affected us for 10 mins or so - and before we got ourselves back together they hit us with a double blow inside 10 mins and it was 3-0 from nowhere! After that the match returned to it's previous theme - evenly contested and end to end. We might have had a couple of penalties on another day and could have made the scoreline reflect the play more with several chances late on - but unlike last week when we scored almost every time - we just werent clinical enough.
Maindy deserved the victory but I think they would admit the scoreline flattered them. They showed us that if we want to be up there again this season we must take our chances and react to conceding a goal by gettting straight back at the opposition.
