Saturday February 12th 2011

Hailey Park

Whitchurch 3 - 5 Pentwyn Dynamos

                            Willis, Viney (2), Gibbins, Swabey

A real end-to-end affair that must have been a great one to watch - if you were a neutral!!

We knew what to expect from Whitchurch - a big, powerful side that play to the main strength - Mikey up front - and that is what they did. We decided beforehand that we were going to attack them as much and as quickly as possible - keeping the ball at their end more and away from Mikey!

It worked well as we took control of the game early on in midfield with Sam working hard closing down and making a real nuisance of himself, Danny pulling the strings and Charlie providing the steel.  

Matty and Swabes were going at them at pace down both flanks and Chris doing the same at centre forward.

We took the lead through Sam Willis after 10 mins - a ball only half cleared fell to him on the penalty spot and he hit it first time into the roof of the net.

It was soon 1-1 as a quick counter attack caught us on the break - a typical Whitchurch goal from back to front in seconds and bang!

We re-took the lead when Danny picked the ball up and dribbled across the box and put Swabey in to fire in for 2-1.

Whitchurch equalised again just before half time with a cross into the box and a great volley into the bottom corner.

It was nearly 3-2 when another cross fell to their striker, who turned and hammered a shot but Bradley made an outstanding save flying to his right and palming the ball to safety - one of the best saves I have ever seen in Junior football!

2-2 at half time but we had just shaded it.

We started the second half the same as the first and went straight back on the attack - which paid off when Chris received the ball 25 yards out and Whitchurch stood off him, so he set himself and smashed in a screamer in off the cross bar for 3-2.

Danny capped a commanding display with a goal, sliding in to get on the end of a great ball from Will, who having beaten 2 men, whipped a ball in for Danny to make it 4-2 - with his 10th goal in the last 10 games.

Whitchurch got a 3rd when Bradley made a great save but couldnt hold it and their striker hit it in past a dispairing Sam Azu - who tried to stop it on the line but agonisingly couldnt. 

It was now frantic as Whitchurch fancied a point and we tried to kill the game off - and we did when Chris finished it with our fifth goal - and his 8th of the season.

A great response after the Fairwater defeat- and without Caine or Steffan - putting last weeks poor second half into a distant memory. Their manager said to me after the game 'You out footballed us' - a real compliment to the boys.

Pentwyn Leisure Centre

Pentwyn Dynamos 1 - 5 Fairwater

Foulkes

The scoreline doesnt tell the story - but Fairwater deserved the 3 points. They coped with the wind better than us and took their chances when we didnt. Vinnie said to me at full time that he thought it was going to be one way traffic after the first 15 mins as we created so many chances - but only took one of them! 

We went a goal down early on and that seemed to liven us up and we went at them time after time but only managed  to register once. A ball into the box to Danny, he backed into his marker and allowed the ball to run through to Charlie who smashed it home to make it 1-1.

The first half became end to end for the last 15 mins and Fairwater scored again making it 2-1 at halftime.

We were a different side in the second half as Fairwater went at us down the flanks and soon were awarded a penalty - a stick on pen as Caine pulled their man back inside the box - and converted it for 3-1. 

Within 5 mins they had another penalty - this time somewhat dubious - as Josh slid in and got a touch on the ball but a bit of their man also - 4 steps later he went down and a penalty was awarded! a cooly taken pen made it 4-1.

We gifted them the fifth goal too - miscontrolling the ball into the path of the oncoming striker and it was 5-1.

There were many lessons to be learned today and for the season so far in general :-

We must be more clinical, we must be willing to do the ugly stuff - tracking back, challenging for headers in the middle of the park and improved decision making in both final thirds. 

A bad result doesnt make us a bad team and the boys must believe that - but even more they must strive to improve the aforementioned deficiencies if we want to continue to improve.

February Fixtures are out......
