Grangetown 2 - 4 Pentwyn Dynamos

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!
