Pentwyn Leisure Centre
Cardiff and District Under 15 A Division
Pentwyn Dynamos 2 -1 Pentyrch
Taylor (2)
A second meeting with Pentyrch in 3 days - and this time both sides knew what to expect. This possibly caused the flat, lackluster first half performance from both sides. Little happened of note - the game being contested mainly in the middle of the park - with the ball spending more time in the air than on the deck.
We did create 2 good chances - Dan going through but slotted the ball narrowly wide. Ryan had a similar chance and the result was the same.
The second half was much better from both sides - but we just shaded it.
We created lots of chances - Chaz hit a stinging shot just past the upright, Chris went wide from distance, Ryan had several shots saved following box scrambles - and Dan went closest hitting the post.
Pentyrch were counter attacking well now and looked dangerous on the break but the final ball was letting them down - either a tame shot or a cross that we cleared.
This was looking like a rare 0-0 draw until we took the lead after 60 mins - Dan hit a curling corner in that very nearly went in - the keeper flapped at it touching it into the path of Ryan Taylor, who nodded in.
We settled now but kept leaving gaps at the back and Pentyrch levelled with 5 mins remaining - a superb dipping shot that flew over Brads head into the net.
with 2 minutes left - just when we thought we had dropped 2 points - we got a throw in level with the 6 yard line on the left. Chris launched a throw in that was better than most corners, Ryan Taylor rose and directed a superb header into the top left hand corner to snatch victory with his 7th goal in the last 5 matches.
A strong finish to the season with 3 wins - just the small matter of the cup semi final on Thursday now...
