Under 14 Cup First Round

Caedelyn park

AFC Whitchurch Red 5 Pentwyn Dynamos 0

After playing Whitchurch in our opening league match, followed by St Albans, our difficult start to the season continued as we we drawn to play Whitchurch yet again in the Cup!

A tight first 20 mins saw the deadlock broken with an unlucky deflected goal that had Bradley rooted to the spot, helpless as the ball cannoned off a defender and went the other way - story of our season so far!

The game was a close one with Whitchurch the better side - using their usual pace and power and long balls for Mikey to chase. We kept him fairly quiet but it was their No 7 and Bradley that did the damage this time.

Their No 7 ran the game - I wish I knew his name so I could give him his dues! he was everywhere, never wasted possession and was involved in all things good from Whitchurch.

Bradley smashed in 2 superb freekicks that are unsavable by a 14 year old keeper - the first one was drilled low into the bottom corner that left Bradley with no chance. But it was the second one that was really special - Beckham would have been proud of it as he curled it into the top left hand corner.

We had our chances - Chris had a wonderful effort from 25 yards saved by Lloyd in the Whitchurch goal - and Danny pounced on the rebound only for Lloyd to get straight back up and save that too!

Chris went through and lobbed the keeper only to see the ball go the wrong side of the post and Kieran had and effort well saved also.

It seems that I am saying this alot at the moment - but we played fairly well for the most part and probably didint deserve to lose 5 nil. Whitchurch were the better side but we played more football - but it seems that there will be no prizes for good football this season - unless it is accompanied by size, power and pace.

Under 14 A Division

Tremorfa Park

St Albans 9 Pentwyn Dynamos 0

A strange match - 3 players cried off in the hour before kick off, leaving us with the bare XI - not ideal preparation to play the teams best side!

We were actually the better side for the first 20 mins! we should have scored 2 or 3 goals - and would have but for excellent saves from Elliott in goal for The Buns.

We went a goal down through a bit of bad fortune - a defender miscontrolling into the path of a striker and that was that. 

The half time score was 3 nil and it had been a tight first half with St Albans shading it having taken their chances whereas we did not. 

The second half started the same way and I felt we could get back into it if we could score, but as the half went on we tired and The Buns smelt blood. The were ruthtless and went for it and seemed to score every couple of mins of the second half. We battled hard for the most part but they were faster and stronger and once we tired they took full advantage.

In my opinion St Albans are the strongest team in the league and I will be surprised if the lose a match all season, they have a team of exceptional players - they can bring off a Cardifff Schools player and replace him with another one!

The boys must take heart from the first half and not let the scoreline disguise a decent first half performance.

This was always going to be a difficult first match, Whitchurch are big, powerful and pacey - and didint they show it! 

We found ourselves 6 nil down inside 30 mins - and it could have been more. Whitchurch were playing to their strengths as usual - Closing us down quickly, hard tackling and knocking balls over the top for Mikey to chase - and we really struggled to cope with it.

We were missing Kieran up front and I think he would have made a difference playing them at their own game a bit more, but in all honesty for the first half we werent in it at all. We failed to challenge the high balls, rarely closed them down, gave them far to much space and time on the ball - then wondered why they were ripping us apart! We did miss a penalty and Chris had a nice lob clerared off the line in the first half, but apart from that is was a half best forgotten - providing we learned our lessons from all the things we didnt do.

We changed our shape and moved people back into their favoured positions and what a difference the second half was! We scored twice with no reply and were probably the better side this half.

Danny was brought down in the area and Caine stepped up to fire a lovely penalty into the bottom right hand corner.

Chris got the second goal after forcing a good save from their kepper - then pouncing and the rebound.

Charlie and Callum were excellent in the second half - and Will made a difference coming on and using the ball well.

Lessons hopefully were learned in the first half that must be taken into the rest of the season - there will be no easy games for us this season but if we apply ourselves as we did in the second half we can compete with most. 

The season starts Saturday Sept 3rd
