Under 13 A Division

Sevenoaks

Grangetown 2 - 4 Pentwyn Dynamos

                                  Prytherch(2) Viney, Morse

A good first half and an average second - Again!!! - We went 3 nil up and allowed them to claw it back to 3-2, before finally closing the game out with a 4th late on.

We did ride our luck at times - they hit the post twice early on but we got better as the minutes ticked by. We scored some great goals in the first half - the first was a lovely chip from Steff - beautifully executed from the left corner of the box into the far left of the goal. The second was probably our best team goal of the season - Callum recieved the ball at left back and sent a lovely ball down the line to Chris, who held it up for Danny and he flicked the ball through for Steff - and he made no mistake slotting it into the bottom righ hand corner.

We were in control now and were looking like our old selves - stroking the ball around and looking dangerous. Danny was ruled offside as he struck a great volley into the roof of the net - this looked a harsh decision but no use in arguing.

Our third came when Chris bullied their centre half out of possesion , went through and had his initial shot saved but he gobbled up the rebound taking it past the last man and passing it into an empty net. Next, Steffan saw a screamer come back off the bar - denying him his third hatrick of the season.

We conceded right on the stroke of half time - asleep at the back and faliure of the midfield to track their runner allowed their man through - Brad got a hand to it but it crept over the line for 1-3 at half time.

They scored a second that really shouldnt have stood - a clear hand ball went unpunished and the following through ball was recieved by their man clearly 2 yards offside - the ref looked the other way and it was 2-3.

We have taken the lead in so many games this season and failed to hold it - so this was now a test to see if the boys have listened to what we have been telling them of late about shutting games down and concentrating. It seems they had - we didnt panic and gradually regained control of the game.

Will came on and made an impact straight away - neat little touches feeding fellow sub Swabes - had Grangetwon worried regularly - 2 passes in particualr cut them open but the ref decided Swabes was offside when clean through both times - harshly in my opinion.

We eventually made sure of the 3 points when their keeper dropped the ball and nevr manged to get 2 hands back on it as Caine came in and poked it over the line for 2-4.

Back to winning ways and playing well - lets end the season on a high now boys!

Under 13 Cup Round 3

Waun Fach

Pentwyn Dynamos 0 - 4 Whitchurch 

We were caught cold and probably lost this match inside the first 3 mins! Whitchurch came out of the blocks quicker than us and scored straight away with their first attack - a long ball over the top caught us napping and it was 1 nil. From the restart they went down the right crossed a ball over and we conceded a freak own goal - a miscued volley into the top corner from the edge of the box and we found ourselves 2 nil down inside the first 3 mins!

We had barley caught our breath when Whitchurch were awarded a free kick around 25 yards out - which was beautifully struck into the top corner leaving Brad with no chance - and picking the ball out of the net for a third time in 15 mins!

We changed our formation and moved a few players around and got a hold of the match - albeit too late - and the match settled down into a more balanced affair. Their keeper had a great game saving everything we through at him - including Caines well struck penalty - pulling off a save worthy of a senior keeper.

We conceded a 4th late on after a box scramble follwing a corner and that was that. Whitchurch caught us cold and never looked back and deserved their victory - I was disappointed as I had fancied a cup run but it wasnt to be - we dont seem to get favourable draws in the cup!

Under 13 A Division

Caedelyn

Marlboro Sports Black 5 - 3 Pentwyn Dynamos

                                             Fry, Viney, Foulkes

An excellent first half performance but we lost it in the second half. We went a goal down and responded well - a lovely goal from Will, chipping the keeper - against his old team again! He scored in this fixture last season also. Chaz then put us ahead with a screamer of a free kick from all of 30 yards.

They equalised making it 2-2 but we went ahead again after their keeper allowed a weak shot from Chris to slip through his fingers for 3-2 at half time.

We allowed them back in early on after a mistake at the back let them clean through and it was individual errors for the next 2 goals that cost us. We gave a top side a hell of a game for most of this match but in the end lack of concentration and belief cost us dearly.

Under 13 A Division

Penntwyn Leisure Centre

Pentwyn Dynamos 5 - 2 Marlboro Sports White

Gibbins, Prytherch (2),

Swabey, Azu 

Not a great performance but it got us back to winning ways. We never looked like losing but never really took it to them either. Goals from Danny - who also missed a penalty, a brace from Steff and goals also from Swabes and Sam Azu gave us a much needed win. Marlboro never gave up and kept playing right to the final whistle and deserved their goals - their first was the goal of the game - a long range effort form around 30 yards out. 

We must learn to not get sucked into how the oppostion want to play - in this case long balls and up in the air - when we keep the ball on th edeck and play to our strengths we can be great but when we allow the oppostion to dictate it we struggle.

Under 13 A Division

 

St Mellons

 

AFC Rumney Juniors 4-4 Pentwyn Dynamos

                                          Gibbins(2), Prytherch,Viney

 

A game of two halves - we ran the first half completely and then starting the second half saleep cost us 2 points.

 

We started really well - we had all the possession and went ahead through a great team goal - We played it from the back to the midfield, a great ball from Sam Willis through to Steffan who's shot was parried by the keeper and Danny pounced to make it 1 nil. 

 

It was soon 2 nil through Steffan - another graet pass from Sam Willis and Steffan made no mistake as the keeper came out.

 

Our third goal was good too - a searching diagonal pass from Steffan picked out Danny who lobbed the keeper as he came racing off his line.

 

We conceded on the stroke of half time - lack of concentration and we allowed them through to make it 3-1 at the break.

 

We started the 2nd half asleep and what followed was hard to believe - they went for us and scored 3 in quick succession and we were 4-3 down inside 10 mins! We had to take Danny off and Caine got injured and this maybe affected the balance of the side temporarily but, to their credit, the boys steadied the ship and regained control of the match - reducing Rumney to counter attacks.

 

We eventually drew level when Chris followed up his own shot after the keeper had palmed it out - we went for it in the last 10 mins but couldnt get the winner - Sam Azu had a great shot well saved and Steffan came close from long range several times, but it wasnt to be.

 

All in all a much improved showing after the Llanedeyen collapse - but concentration must improve!

Waun Fach

Pentwyn Dynamos 1 - 6 Llanedeyrn
Foulkes

Without doubt our worst performance of the season - Llanedeyrn were faster, stronger and wanted it more and really looked impressive. We conceded goals from 4 corners! and our mistakes cost us on 3 of their goals.

The only highlight was our goal - a bullet header from Charlie - well deserved as Chaz was great today, battling in midfield alone for most of the match.

A match best forgotten and on a personal note - my first defeat against Llanedeyrn - which as a Pentwyn boy wasnt nice!
