Match Report
Saturday 9th March 2013
Pentwyn Leisure Centre
UNDER 15 A DIVISION
Pentwyn Dynamos 2 - 2 Llanedeyrn Bluebirds
Viney, Foulkes
Another strange performance from us - we never got anywhere near our form of most of the season, yet still scored twice and could have had a few more but for a man of the match display from James in goal for Llanedeyrn.
They started the stronger and we struggled to get going and there were a few scary moments but we eventually played our way into the game and took control of it.
Dan went down the left and sent a ball across the goal that was only half cleared - Chris pounced and it was 1-0.
We went further ahead when Chris went down the left again and sent over a perfect left footed shot and Charlie volleyed it low and hard into the net to make it 2-0.
2-0 up at half time and I told the boys the next goal was big - get out there and score first.
Llanedeyrn came out quicker and we dropped deeper and deeper - eventually conceding a really well taken goal - a great ball over the top and their striker finished well into the top corner. They were really making a game of it now - giving us no time or space and looking dangerous when they went forward.
We actually started to play now and created several chances - Jared struck a powerful, dipping shot that James somehow got fingers to and tipped onto the bar.
Jared again struck another beauty that James flew across and pushed wide at full stretch.
We were pouring forward trying to kill them off and got caught napping at the back and got themselves level.
The last 15 minutes were end to end and either team could have nicked it - we created a box scramble but somehow they cleared.
A draw was a fair outcome given Llanederns comeback - it was hard to believe they are bottom of the league. If they play like that every week they could well get out of trouble.

UNDER 15 A DIVISION
Pentwyn Dynamos 0 - 3 Rhiwbina Black
We havent beaten Rhiwbina since under 12s - and we would never have a better chance than Today as they were missing a couple of their best players and werent at their best - unfortunately we didnt take the opportunity.
We never got going, allowed Rhiwbina to dictate the play and couldnt find our form of recent months.
The first goal didnt do our confidence any good as it was yards offside but the referee ignored our appeals.
Dan hit the bar shortly after going a goal down - and maybe if it had hit the back of the net we may have got a foothold, but it wasnt to be.
1-0 down at half time and I told the boys we were still in a good position if we started to play like we have been in most matches this season - but it just wouldnt click.
Rhiwbina went 2 up after 15 mins and coasted it - catching us on the break late on, when we finally started to cause them a problem or two, to score a 3rd to give a final score of 3-0.
Rhiwbina deserved the 3 points but werent at their best - and had we played like we have been this season we could well have won this one.
