Match Report

Saturday 27th October 2012

Pentwyn Leisure Centre 

Under 15 A Division

Pentwyn Dynamos 3 - 3 AFC Whitchurch
Viney (2), Gibbins

Our matches against Whitchurch are never dull - these two teams are so well matched you never know who will win - and there are always goals!

We started well and were slightly shading it but fell behind after a lack of communication at the back led to Mikey latching on to a lose ball and smacking it into the top right hand corner. Despite this we were looking good at the back - Matty and Callum both getting forward at every opportunity plus Huw and Ryan at centre back looked like they had played their together for years -  you would never have known it was their first match together.

We never let our heads drop though and were soon back in it - eventually equalising through Chris - finishing well from just inside the box.

Whitchurch were always a threat and Mikey was looking up for it but we started to get at them through playing our passing game - Danny, Ben and Chris having chances but it remained 1-1 at half time.

We started the second half well and eventually took the lead through Chris with a lovely goal - he chested the ball down shifted it inside and cooly slotted home. 

We looked confident now and the Whitchurch threat seemed to drop a little and we looked good for a win. We went 3-1 up with a well taken goal from Danny, drilling a left foot shot into the bottom left hand corner.

I take the blame for what happened next - Feeling the match was won and the need to get as many of my subs on as possible, I took off too many of our main men - and this lead to us losing our way.

Whitchurch smelt blood and went for us in a big way and we went from controlling the game to hanging on inside 10 minutes!

Mikey got one back with a great header - although I felt the crosser was offside, but these things happen.

With minutes left Mikey equalised getting on the end of a lovely freekick - the delivery was great - and he flicked it into the net.

After being 3-1 down this felt like 2 points dropped but on the balance of chances a draw was probably about right.

I wont be making hasty substitutions again - this division is way too competetive to assume you have won until the final whistle. Well played boys - this one was my fault.

Whitchurch Hospital

Under 15 A Division

Rhiwbina Black 5 - 0 Pentwyn Dynamos 

Always one of the hardest matches - and Today was no different but the scoreline flattered Rhiwbina.

The first half was really tight with few chances for either side as the midfield contested the majority of the first period. Danny and Ben were linking well down the left hand side and Charlie was running the midfield in tandem with Huw who was looking good also.

Ellis and Ryan were playing really well at centre back  - and both full backs Callum and Matty were on song so everything felt good.

We fell behind to an unstoppable shot from Alfie which flew into the top corner a few minutes before halftime.

Right on half time Jared was brought down and we had won ourselves a chance to equalise with a penalty - which we missed! our third penalty this season and we have now missed them all!

The second half was close again for the first 15 minutes and you felt we might just grab that equaliser.

It never came though and Rhiwbina took complete control as they threw on a few of their big guns Tony had rested from the starting line up. Aftwer the second goal went in our heads went down and making several substitutions weakened us - the match finishing 5 nil.

The penalty miss was critical for me - had we scored it, we would have run them alot closer. Rhiwbina will be the ones to press St Albans again this season.
