Cardiff District Under 15 A Division
Poplar Park
Fairwater Juniors 1 - 2 Pentwyn Dynamos
Gibbins, Foulkes
Always a difficult one, Fairwater away - and with them doing so well this season it looked like Today would be no different.
We started the better of the 2 sides and created several chances early on - Danny went close, Chaz headed over and Sam, Jared and Callum all had shots on goal.Jared was a constant threat down the left and kept taking it to them down the flank - linking well with Danny and Callum - who was loving a free role for the day!
We eventually took the lead with a lovely goal - Chaz received the ball just inside our half cut inside and played a slide rule pass through to Danny, who was on the shoulder of the last man. Danny went through, drew the keeper and poked it past him into the bottom right hand corner to score in the fifth consecutive game.
A deserved lead but we just couldnt get the elusive second. Fairwater only had 2 shots on our goal in the first half and unfortunately they both came in the same passage of play - and lead to us conceding!
They had a corner that fell to one of their players, who struck a fierce shot that Brad saved really well - but we were ball watching and they tapped in the rebound.
The second half was much closer - Fairwater took the game to us more and it could have gone either way.
Bradley made a couple of good saves as they pressed us but we are looking good at the back these days - especially thanks to Huw, who had another great game and kept it tight along with Ben, Ryan P. and Matty.
Sam and Chaz were battling well in midfield and kept us in it with their dogged and energetic displays.
Chaz had a header struck the bar and bounce on - or possibly over - the line but the ref allowed play to go on. Chaz did get his deserved goal to win for us though - he passed it wide to Swabes, who held the ball up really well and weighted a great pass for Chaz to smash in to make it 2-1 with his 3rd goal of the season.
Josh, Ryan F.and Jake came on to give us fresh legs and both never stopped running , working hard for the team tracking back and breaking up the play as Fairwater pressed for an equaliser.
They nearly got it right at the death as they went through and put the ball in the net - but the ref had blown before the shot for a push on Matty.
Great result against a good side.
