Under 13 A Division
Waun Fach
Pentwyn Dynamos 4 - 2 Grangetown B.C.
Gibbins, Prytherch (3)
No Bradley this week so my first problem was to find someone willing to play in goal - step forward Sam Azu! Sam usually plays in defence but you wouldnt have known it on his performance today - he was great!
A better performance this week in the end - though we did start slowly and allowed Grangetown a few opportunities early on. As the first half went on we gradually took control and eventually took the lead through Danny - latching onto a throw in from Chris, rolling his man and volleying into the right hand corner.
The lead didnt last long though as we failed to clear our lines and after a scramble in the box they made it 1-1. We should have been 2-1 ahead when Steffan burst through and went one on one with their keeper but he made a great save when everyone thought the ball was in.
Swabes had an effort well saved - as did Chris - They were proving tough to break down and threatened on the counter attack down the right with real pace.
1-1 at half time and I reminded the boys about last week and how we couldnt drop points like that again!
A much better second half, Steffan took control, Matty came on and gave us a real threat down the left and Sam Willis came on to link up with Chaz in the midfield. We were 2-1 up in minutes as Steffan dispossessed their defender and stormed through to score.
Within minutes he did it again from the right hand side - latching onto the ball after Grangetown failed to clear and slotting home for 3-1.
Steffan was buzzing now and notched his third soon after when Danny played a great through ball for him to whiz past their defenders, take the keeper and pass into an empty net for his hatrick making it 4-1 - and thats 2 hatricks in a row now for Steff!
We were well in control now and had plenty of opportunities to score more - Danny had 2 efforts disallowed for offside - the first was offside but the second wasnt! - and a nice volleyed effort saved later on. Steffan had another great effort well saved by their keeper - who was having a great game, Sam Willis had a shot well saved- but it stayed at 4!
We relaxed a little thinking the game was won and allowed them back into it and they took advantage with a well taken goal.
We played mostly within ourselves Today - stepping it up when we needed to - but doing just enough.
A special mention for Sam Azu - Stepped forward to play in goal, showed great attitude, played really well and actually enjoyed it!
