Under 14 Cup First Round

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.
