McLaggon o.g.
The match started off really close with both teams passing the ball and attacking as much as possible. The pitch was awful with craters in the middle and extra long grass down the flanks which really stopped our speedy widemen playing their usual game. It was the same for both teams though and we kept plugging away.
After a close 15 mins we began to take control and created chance after chance - Danny, Matty, Sam Willis and Steffan all having efforts on goal but it remained 0-0. Lloyd and Caine were looking unbeatable in the centre back positions and when they did manage an attack one of these two snuffed it out. Swabes was having a blinder down the left linking well with CB, as were Matty and Josh down the right. If it wasnt for the long grass these guys would have had even more joy.
Completely against the run of play Llanedeyrn took the lead on 25 mins - a great goal from Joel Brown from outside the box that left Bradley with no chance.
Halftime it was 1-0 to Llanedeyrn and we were thinking about last week - surely not again!!!
We started the second half 100 mph and Steffan's shot hit the bar, rebounded to Danny who chested the ball goalwards but their keeper, James, saved.
Another effort moments later as Chaz got hold of the ball on the left corner of the area and hammered a shot that James saved excellently again.
A pattern was emerging as were spending so much time in their half - they could only counter attack occasionally.
More efforts from Danny, Sam Willis Chris Viney couldnt beat James - who was having a great game in goal.
Finally the breakthrough came as the ball dropped to Sam Willis on the edge of the box and he sent a looping shot over James and it was 1-1. This seemed to release the shackles and we now took control - Chaz and Steffan were owning the middle of the park and Sam and Danny up front were running them ragged. Danny received the ball on the penalty spot sidestepped his man and drilled a left footed shot into the bottom left hand corner for 2-1!
It was 3-1 soon after as Llanedeyrn failed to clear their lines and we sent a testing ball in that they put into their own net.
Danny was buzzing now and couldnt get enough of the ball and grabbed his second goal as Matty hit a cross-cum-shot that Danny diverted past the keeper for 4-1. Danny rounded off a great morning's work completing his hatrick - first having his shot saved, receiving the rebound and cooly slotting it past a goal line full of defenders for 5-1.
Another great display and this time getting the deserved victory well done boys!
