Cardiff & District Under 16 A Division
Pontprennau
Pentwyn Dynamos 1 - 1 Whitchurch
Pain
The morning started badly when the ref cried off at the last minute, leaving me to pick up the whistle - and the boys with no coaching from the touchline.
We started off well enough though and it was a closely contested first 20 mins. We created several good moves but couldn't find that extra spark.
We had an opportunity to take the lead through a penalty but missed it. The match took shape and it looked like Whitchurch were going to be tough.
We took the lead through a great goal - Corey received the ball on the edge of the box, went past his man and drilled a bullet of a shot low into the bottom corner.
1-0 up at half time, not playing great but decent enough.
The second half was a different matter - Whitchurch bossed it, forced us back and gradually took control of the match. We created very little and by the last 15 minutes we were hanging on.
They equalised - deservedly so - through a cruel deflection - leaving Bradley rooted to the spot as he watched the ball fly past him.
A poor second half performance that Whitchurch will say they should have won - and I wouldn't argue to be honest.
