We were below par Today - maybe a little tired in our 4th game in 8 days but it has been the same for most so no excuses.
The game was played at a slower pace which maybe suited them better than us - having been used to a frantic, up tempo match of late.
It was close for the first 25 mins but we went behind afetr a ball over the top caught us napping and they popped it in with ease.
We were 2 down within 30 minutes as a similar thing happened again and we lost concentration gifting them an open goal.
We improved a little in the seccond half - Danny was getting on the ball and pulling our strings, Matty - who couldnt get there in time to start - came on and gave us an injection of pace and urgency and Ellis took more of a hold in the middle. Ben Pomeroy was causing them problems, first down the right then when I moved him to the left he carried on.
We went 3 down when we allowed them to get a shot away - a great effort Bradley had no chance with into the bottom left hand corner.
This seemed to wake us up and Danny got 1 back - receiving the ball on the edge of the box, backheeling it to Charlie and spinning off to get on the end of the return to finish well with his left foot.
We then allowed another silly goal - allowing the ball to bounce on the edge of our box - failing with a weak header to clear then their player struck a fantatstic effort to make it 4-1.

Pentwyn Dynamos 2-1 Rhiwbina White
Viney (2)
 
Another tough one - Rhiwbina White have faired well since their promotion, they have been in the top half of the Division all season and we knew it would be hard after only just beating them a few weeks back at their place.
 
We won this in the first half - our first goal was a nice one. Cian took the ball down the right, got to the edge of the area and where most would have shot, he slid a lovely ball in for Chris to tap in.
 
It was Chris again - in great goal scoring form of late - who made it 2-0 latching on to a through ball and cooly slotting home.
 
We shoul dhave scored more goals - Chris hit the bar and the post, Swabes came on second half and hit the post, Danny had a few shots well saved but we just couldnt add to our tally.
 
Rhiwbina played far better second half and got a deserved goal back but we shaded it overall and took the points.

A tough game that ended in a fair result. Both sides gave it everything - tackles flying in - big support for both sides on the touchline and I couldnt fault our effort.
 
We took the lead through Ellis - A great corner from Chris dropped to him and he finished well.
 
It should have been 2-0 when a Chris sent a curling free kick into the box and Cian knocked it into the net - but the ref gave Danny offside and interfering with play - harsh as he had timed his run well and was attempting to play the ball legally. 
 
We held the lead for 15 minutes and it looked like we could be in with a chance of getting a result.
A lapse in concentration brough about the equaliser - a ball over the top caught us out and it was 1-1.
 
We had a wobbly spell and were soon 2-1 and then 3-1 down!
 
 It seemed unfair as we were palying well but Rhiwbina are ruthless and do take tehir chances.
 
Just before half time we got one back - and what a goal it was! Rhiwbina cleared the ball and it fell to Ben Pomeroy - he flicked it up and unleashed a volley into the top corner to get us back into it.
 
3-2 at half time and we knew we had to score first second half - we did but it took a while. We had to battle, tackle, head every cross and throw bodies on the line to keep Rhiwbina out - and we managed it. 
 
We always looked dangerous on the counter attack and Chris equalised with a well taken goal - racing onto a through ball and cooly chipping the keeper to make it 3-3.

Llanedeyrn Bluebirds 0 - 4 Pentwyn Dynamos
                                            Foulkes, Dunsford (2), Viney 

An excellent first half display - we ran it from start to finish. We started well, playing our passing game - everyone was on form and it was evident in the way we were moving the ball around. 

We went 1 nil up through Charlie - chasing a lost cause as the ball bounced towards the keeper - he got there first and nodded ito the corner. We continued to press them and could have scored so many more goals in this game - Danny went through and only a last ditch tacckle deflected the ball wide, Chris hit the post with a rasping shot and Kieran went close also.

Charlie hit the bar with one of the best solo efforts I have seen - He won the ball just inside their half and went on a weaving run - through 4 players and unleashed a superb shot only to see it cannon off the bar. So unlucky as it was a magnificent effort.

It was soon 2 nil as Ellis - who was superb all match - rose well and headed in Chris's corner.

Lightening struck twice as he did it again 5 mins later - almost the same goal. Chris delivered another spot on corner, Ellis lost his man and headed in to make it 3 nil.

The second half was closer as Llanedeyrn upped their game and came at us using their pacy striker, Ryan.

They only created one clear cut chance though as Ryan went through one on one with Brad but hit his shot wide.

We should have added more goals in the second half - Danny went through but hit his shot wide, Ellis could have had a hatrick but headed over and Cian sent over a lovely cross for Danny but his header was good but straight at the keeper.

We lost Kieran to a nasty injury - so unfair as he was having a great game - he hobbled off with an extremley swollen ankle. After a visit to A&E he was informed it was torn ligaments and will unfortunately be out for a month - we wish him well and look forward to seeing him back in the fold once he has recovered.

Chris finished off hte scoring with a wonderful goal - he hit a volley with the outside of his right foot into the top corner from the edge the box - a deserved goal as he had a great game.

Saturday 10 March 2012

Maesycoed Rd
Rhiwbina White 0 - 1 Pentwyn Dynamos
                                            Swabey
A really close game - we shaded the first half, creating several chances - Danny, Kieran, Charlie and Chris all having efforts well saved by a very good keeper in goal for Rhiwbina. Rhiwbina counter attacked a few times and Bradley was on form for us also.
 
0-0 at half time and both sides would be fancying the win.
 
The second half was closer than the first and Bradley made several good saves - and Ryan Pomeroy was outstanding at centre back - winning headers and making interceptions at every opportunity.
 
A very tight match was settled by Daniel Swabey - Swabes receive dthe ball on the edge of the box, set himself and side footed an excellent shot into the bottom left hand corner.
 
We held on for the remaining 15 minutes and took the 3 points.

Pentwyn Leisure Centre
Pentwyn Dynamos 2-3 Fairwater Juniors
Viney, Gibbins
A game of two halves to say the least. We ran the show for the first 25 mins - Chris was getting down the right and giving them a real problem with his pace and he opening the scoring with a fantastic curling effort from outside the box that flew over the keeper to put us 1 nil up.
It was Chris down the right again that started the move for our second - he went past his man and sent over a cross-cum-shot that the keeper parried but Danny was there to pounce and make it 2 nil.
We had restricted Fairwater to one shot from a free kick that went way over and looked in control.
We then went to sleep - a cross from the right was watched by at least 3 of our players, allowing their man on the back post to set himself and volley into the back of our net - an excellent finish but had the cross been dealt with properly he never would have had the time to execute it.
Half time and 2-1 up - I told the boys that concentration was key and we must go at them straight away as the next goal could well be key.
So we sat back, stopped playing and allowed Fairwater to boss it from then on!!!
They soon equalised - the same problem from our point of view as a cross was sent over that could have been dealt with by 3 or 4 players - but we watched it and they had 2 players at the back post that were fighting to score.
5 mins later we were 3-2 down as we lost posession in midfield, failed to get behind the ball quick enough and then allowed a tame shot to wriggle over the line - despite a valiant effort by Ellis as he nearly crashed into the post, but he just couldnt stop it going over the line.
3-2 down and we started to dig in a little bit but the boys seemed to struggle to find a team mate with a pass - as Fairwater closed down, hassled and harried really well.
We might have nicked a point as we did have chances - Danny shooting over from just inside the box and Ellis had a shot that went agonisingly wide late on.
Fairwater deserved the win after a great comeback - they wanted it more and went for us when they saw us flagging, but yet again we beat ourselves, this is the second time we have let a 2 goal lead slip at home - seemingly thinking the match is won and just switching off.
Our bright sparks Today were Matty - tireless as ever - and Swabes who stopped their winger all morning, tracking back at every time of asking.
