Fairwater 1 - 1 Pentwyn Dynamos

                         R. Fry

 

A tight game with few chances that neither team really deserved to win. The first half was a case of sounding eachother out and playing it careful. It was clear both sides didnt want to go behind and it was 0-0 at half time - a fairly uneventful first half. Our defence had looked fairly solid despite conceding - Josh in particular having another good game.

 

I did have a few issues with the referee rarely penalising foul throws one minute - of which Fairwater commited many and us few - then in the next it was all by the book.

 

The second half was slighly better and although we had more clear cut opportunities we went a goal behind after a teasing high ball was spilled by Bradley in our goal and the Fairwater striker reacted quickest and finished well to give them the lead.

 

Sam sent a lovely ball through for Danny, who forced a good save from the keeper and we started to look like getting back into it. Sam had a decent shot himself from outside the box but hit it just wide.

Chris was getting forward more and more and his pace was giving Fairwater a few problems, but they were defending well and looked dangerous on the break.

 

I wondered if making a few changes might spark a revival - so on came Ryan Fry, and the Pomeroy brothers, Ben and Ryan - who made an instant impact with their pace and fresh legs.

 

With 10 minutes left Charlie got on the ball and bulldozered his way into ther box and hit a gret ashot taht was well saved by the keeper. Ryan Pomeroy pounced on the rebound but it was well blocked - but the ricochet fell to Ryan Fry who cooly slotted home for the equaliser.
