Pentwyn Dynamos 0 Marlboro Black 3

A decent performance but we gave ourselves a mountain to climb by conceding a goal in the fierst couple of minutes - we were half asleep and allowed a through ball to run - lack of communication and 'after you' had us 1 nil down straight away!

To their credit the boys picked themselves up and started to play. Marlboro had slightly more possesion but we were passing the ball well when we had it and the game was tight.

Chances were at a minimum in the first half but Charlie had a great effort from distance - it looked in all the way - until it seemed to rise late and went over the bar. 

1 nil at half time and all to play for.

Marlboro came out for the second half really going for it and penned us in for the first 5 mins. We weathered the storm though and the game reverted to a similar pattern to the first half.

We were undone by a 5 minute spell of Marlboro excellence that we couldnt quell - a double whammy and it was 3 nil.

We kept playing our football and never got our heads down, which is a trait we have learned this season to the boys credit, we still had our share of the ball and gave a good account of ourselves.

In summary we shot ourselves in the foot conceding the early goal and never fully recovered but there is no shame losing to this team - they are so well drilled and have no real weaknesses.
