Llanedeyrn High School
Llanedeyrn Bulldogs 1 - 2 Pentwyn Dynamos
Willis
Swabey
The big derby match - always an encounter - school friends and neighbours become rivals for 70 mins.
This match didnt disappoint - it was poised on a knife edge for the entire game. The first 20 mins were mainly contested in the midfield with both sides battling and holding their own. Few chances were created as both sides sounded each other out.
We took the lead on 25 mins when a ball over the top caught Llanedeyrn sleeping and Sam Willis was quickest to react - I say quickest but this felt to me as if it happened in slow motion! as Sam controlled the ball set himself and slotted the ball home.
The battle continued and Steffan Prytherch and Charlie Foulkes began to boss the midfield,giving the whole team confidence that came through in our football. Half time came and the score remained 0-1.
The second half was more open as chances began to happen for both sides but still the score remained 0-1.
Our defence held firm until Llanedeyrn scored a carbon copy goal of our opener - a ball over the top to Jacob Scott who made no mistake to level the score.
This was now a test of how much we wanted it, as for the first time in the match Llanedeyrn took charge. They were coming at us, looking dangerous and really testing our metal. Time for a change - Caine Morse coming on to add that extra bit of steel to the midfiled.
We found our second wind and began counter attacking with real purpose. Daniel Swabey had a chance to seal it but shot wide and it looked as though a stalemate was on the cards. Then Llanedeyrn had their chance - a stinging shot from the edge of the box excellently saved by Bradley Preece.
Another chance for us - a Caine Morse volley looked goalbound but for a great save from Llanedeyrn keeper James Newman.
As the seconds ticked away - we were deep in injury time - a scramble on the edge of the area saw the ball bounce in front of Daniel Swabey. He steadied himself and sent off a rocket of a volley into the top left hand corner - winning the match and sealing all 3 points.
A truly memorable performance - our 4th match in 7 days - and thats the double over our neighbours this season.
Special mentions:
Steffan Prytherch and Charlie Foulkes - midfield maestros ran the show.
Bradley Preece - another commanding performance in goal.
Callum Patten - Wanted this victory so much and contributed greatly.
Daniel Swabey - I will remember that winning goal for a long time!

Eglwys Newydd Primary School
AFC Whitchurch 1 - 2 Pentwyn Dynamos
Fry
Swabey
Our third match in 5 days saw us play Whitchurch at Eglwys Newydd Primary School. A big, physical Whitchurch side took the game to us from the whistle and - although we were playing all the football - took the lead with a sweetly struck shot from outside the area. We continued to play our passing game, whilst Whitchurch used the small pitch to their advantage, constantly playing long balls up to their big, pacy strikers - putting us under pressure with just one strike of the ball!
We kept our heads and the boys didnt get sucked into the long ball tactics they were facing. We kept the ball on the 'deck' when we had it and battled when we didnt. By now Charlie Foulkes and Steffan Prytherch were taking control of the midfield and you felt an equaliser was coming. When we did draw level it was a goal worth waiting for - Will Fry executing a beautifully struck shot from the edge of the box - claiming his first goal for the club - and well deserved it was.
We now were bossing the game, but still Whitchurch's bigger players were giving us a real rough ride and were counter attacking with real menace.
Just before half time we took the lead - great work from Callum Patten from left back - as he took control of the ball, Whitchurch backed off, so he kept going, cut inside and sent a lovely through ball for Daniel Swabey. Swabes made no mistake as the keeper came out, stroking the ball into the right of the net.
2-1 at half time and we knew we were in a game. The second half was much the same as the first. We were playing well, but Whitchurch were bullying us and looking dangerous when counter attacking. Both sides missed chances and we really were hanging on in the last 5 mins, with keeper Bradley Preece giving his bravest performance of the season - diving at strikers' feet and claiming high balls under pressure.
We hung on and came away with our hardest earned three points of the season.
Special mentions:
All of you boys! you showed great heart coming from behind and battled against a really physical - and at times cynical - Whitchurch side. I hope you now see that our small size can be unimportant if you keep playing your football and give 100%.

Monday 12th April 2010
Parc Coed y Nant
Pentwyn Dynamos 1-4 Marlboro Black
Foulkes
A really tight game for the most part - It was 0-0 for the first 20 mins with the game poised on a knife edge. Marlboro took the lead from a well rehearsed corner routine that brought confusion upon our defence
who failed to clear their lines and the ball was bundled over the line for 1-0. It didnt stay that way for long as our skipper, Charlie Foulkes, scored a scorching free kick from 25 yards to draw us level.
Another defensive error gifted Marlboro a goal as the ball bounced over 2 defenders and our keepers heads, leaving an empty net for the Marlboro striker to make it 2-1.
The game stayed close and we nearly equalised with another Charlie Foulkes rocket - but unfortunately it sailed just wide. The match stayed close, contested mainly in midfield, with both sides playing well - but Marlboro shading it. Steffan Prytherch went close from distance but an equaliser just wouldnt come for us.
We gifted Marlboro a third goal when we failed to clear and a mis-hit clearance went straight into the path of the oncoming Marlboro striker - who made no mistake 3-1. The fourth goal could have been avoided also, but yet again we became panicked - and allowed Marlboro a second bite of the cherry, failing to clear our lines - and they completed a 4-1 victory.
In truth, the better side won, but 4-1 flattered them as we contested the game extremely well for three quarters of it. Our failings got the better of us again as we lacked self belief, became panicked needlessly and too many individual errors cost us dearly.
Marlboro were excellent, not just in their play, but their all round attitude. I believe they are currently the A division's best side. I believe Mark' s boys are going to have the top 2 looking over their shoulders anxiously for the remainder of the season!
Special mentions:
Charlie Foulkes - excellent performance and a great goal.
Steffan Prytherch - looked dangerous every time he got the ball and great feet.
Bradley Preece - one of the best saves - down to his right and around the post - I have seen from an under 12 keeper.
