Poplar Park

Fairwater 4 - 1 Pentwyn Dynamos

                        Gibbins

A game in which we never got going and Fairwater deserved to win. It was always going to be tough as we were missing Matty and Jake - 2 big players for us but that is no excuse. The scoreline flattered them as they scored a dubious penalty and the fourth goal was gifted to them from at keystone cops moment at the back leaving their striker with the easiest goal he will ever score.

We were poor from the start and conceded after 10 mins - with a great goal from a Fairwater point of view, their player performing a 360 degree spin to get into the box and finishing well.

Fairwater scored again - Bradley making a great save but no one reacted as he parried and their striker pounced.

Dan gave us a lifeline pulling one back with a nice effort from outside the box - and we had a spell then in which Chaz had a couple of good chances but that was it for us in the first half. The dubious penalty follwed that and it was 3-1 at half time.

The second half was better from us and the only goal conceded was towards the end when we were pushing forward - ball over the top, keeper and 2 centre halves lacked communication and the ball ended up with their striker and it was 4-1.

A poor first half and lack of communication cost us - the better team on the day won.
