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.
