This looked a difficult one as we were missing 5 first team players through a mixture of rugby and unavailability so I wasnt expecting a stroll in the park - and it wasnt!
Phil sets his boys up well and they play to their strengths - Imposing, physical and long balls up to their big men up top. They came at us at 100 mph and took a deserved lead - although slight suspicions of offside - after 10 mins and we found ourselves on the back foot.
We slowly found our rhythm and started our passing game and began to look ourselves again. Ellis was winning more in the air than their big striker which settled us down at the back and Danny and Jared began to see more of the ball up front.
Then disaster struck - their left winger hit a speculative ball into the box, the wind took it and it flew into the top corner! we were 2 nil down and it wasnt looking like our day.
Danny had a shot just over the bar and another just wide but we still found ourselves 2 nil down.
Minutes later Ben burst into the box and was hauled down for a penalty - and we missed it! it wasnt looking good for us.
Minutes into the second half Rhiwbina sent a dangerous cross into the box which we failed to deal with it and it ended up flying off a head into the net - own goal and 3 nil down!
We kept playing our passing game though - and you felt that if we could just get one....
20 minutes to go and we were awarded a free kick around 25 yards out. Indirect - Callum lays it off to Danny and he sent it into the top corner! 3-1 and we just went on from there.
They were rattled now and we got another almost straight away - Swabes received the ball in the inside right channel, went past a man and chipped the keeper. 3-2 and we were thinking of a comeback for real now!
Danny received the ball on the half way line and picked out Jared making a great run, he still had it all ot do as the keeper came out he chipped him to make it 3-3. A nice moment for Jared on his debut and against his old team.
Their heads were down now and we came at them again and again and I knew if we could just get that one more chance we would win it.
We were awarded another free kick - could have been a penalty - on the edge of the box. Danny stepped up again and bent it into the top right hand corner to win it 4-3!
A great come back and a deserved win as we played all the football, but fair play to Rhiwbina they gave us a real battle and they will do the same to alot of teams this season.
