Trelai

Caerau Ely 1 - 4 Pentwyn Dynamos 

                           Taylor (2), Gibbins, McLaggon

We started well - passing the ball around really well and generally bossing it. We scored early - Dan crossing in for Ryan to head home.

We continued to play and soon our second came - this was one of the best team goals we have ever scored.

The ball started at the back - passing between Matthew, Huw and Josh, then into Jake the midfield, out to Ryan wide right and back into Jake. Jake played the ball forward to Chaz who weighted a beautiful pass into the path of a great run from Dan who made no mistake - into the corner off the left post as the keeper advanced. A 7 or 8 pass move that culminated in a wonderful goal.

And then we stopped playing - we allowed Careau to get back into the game and they took charge for the final 15 mins of the half - scoring a very good goal themselves and it was 1-2 at half time.

Caerau had lost all of their games so far this season but looked a decent side to me - a nice mix of passing and battling spirit had us hanging on a bit. They forced us back but most of their shots were from distance and either wide or over - but the game was close.

Jared and Corey came on and made a real difference - their energy and will to get forward gave us back the control of the game. Jared scored a great goal from distance into the top right hand corner - and Ryan finished them off with a nicely taken chip as he went through in what looked an offside position but he played to the whistle on finished well.

1-4 flattered us but we deserved the win. Caerau were good and the next time we meet it will be closer for sure.
