Pentwyn Leisure Centre

Under 15 Cup Semi Final

Pentwyn Dynamos 6 - 2 Ty Celyn
Mclaggon, Gibbins (2),
B. Pomeroy (2), Foulkes

This looked a tough game for us - we were depleted as Ryan and Matthew were cup tied, Matty missing and Chris only able to play the second half having come to the match straight from rugby! Not ideal going into a cup semi final missing 4 first team players but we have a stronger squad than ever before and I knew we could do it.

I told the boys that this was a game we needed to win in the first half - as the longer it was tight, the more chance we gave the opposition.

We started really well - scoring after just 2 minutes - Charlie playing a great ball in behind the right back for Dan, who whipped a ball in across the box and Jared was there to tap in at the back post.

We were soon 2 up - this time the ball dropped to Dan on the penalty spot and he slotted it for 2 nil.

We were looking good and creating lots of chances but we conceded next - against the run of play and extremely unlucky - a slip at the back enabled their striker to go clean through unchallenged and finish really well, chipping Brad to get Ty Celyn back in it.

We scored again soon after - Ben Pomeroy with a lovely shot from the edge of the box into the top right hand corner.

3-1 up at half time and we talked at half time about how crucial it was that we scored next. Ty Celyn came out a different team second half - they went for broke and put 2 up front and made the game more of a battle. tackles were flying in and they got their second goal - a well taken finish low into the bottom right hand corner.

Ty Celyn sensed a revival and came at us - but we were clever and started to catch them on the break and eventually the game became so stretched that it suited us - our quick players were getting at them and we created lots of chances. Sam was having a great game in the middle, breaking it up and working so hard, which was enabling Charlie to get forward more.
We went 4-2 up through Ben - scoring his second of the night from just inside the area - a well taken finish.

We were really at it now - Huw had a couple of headed chances that went close, Charlie shot just wide and you felt more goals were imminent.
Charlie soon made it five bursting into the box and smashing home as the keeper advanced.

Dan finished the night off with the goal of the match - the ball dropped to him on the edge of the box and he hit a volley with the outside of his right foot that dipped just under the bar for 6-2.

A good performance and our fourth straight victory to take us to our first cup final.
