Pentwyn Lesiure Centre
Pentwyn Dynamos 2 - 2 AFC Rumney Juniors
Gibbins, Swabey
A bad day at the office - and I must take my share of the blame. We underestimated Rumney big time, we were missing a couple of players but looking at Rumney's position in the table I thought this wouldnt be a problem - I also decided to ref the match, which was also probably a mistake as I now couldnt coach. For the entire first half Rumney were the better side - closing down, contesting high balls and generally more hungry for it than us. We went in nil - nil at half time and knew this was going to be a bit of a nightmare.
We improved for the first 10 mins of the secong half and started to look more our usual selves and took the lead with a nice goal from Danny, lifting the ball over the keeper and passing it into the net.
Rumney equalised almost straight away with a well taken goal themselves and the match reverted back to how it started - Rumney going for it and us looking shell shocked.
We gifted Rumney their 2nd goal dribbling out of defence, losing possession and allowing them through to take the lead.
Our equaliser was fortuous as a ball over the top caused confusion in their defence and Swabes managed to get a touch - not sure which part of him, and I not sure he knew either! - and the ball ended up in th net.
We were lucky to get a point here as Rumney deserved to win. Its really disappointing as we had come off the back of big wins against Whitchurch and Fairwater, feeling that we were on top form and just didint get started today at all. That said its hard to believe Rumney are bottom of the league as they looked a decent side today and with the new players they have gained since the start of the season it will be interesting to see who else they surprise!
