A nice end to the season with a great result for us - we had never beaten Maindy since starting 11 a side football in 3 previous attempts and finally acheived it today!

We started well, playing our passing game and taking it to Maindy, taking a deserved lead through Sam Willis. Danny teed him up for a lovely curling effort into the top corner. We soon went 2 nil up through Will - who was having a great game again afeter a recent run of excellent form - and we looked like we were going to run away with it.

But we did our ususal thing and slowed it down, allowing Maindy back into it and before we knew it - it was 2-2!

I told the boys at half time to get back at them and we restored our lead through Charlie - and Danny added another to make it 4-2, but we again Maindy stepped their game up and scored 2 goals to level it at 4-4.

It was startting to look like we were heading for a draw - when Will rtaced through onto a through ball and lifted the ball over the outrushing keeper to snatch victory and make it 5-4!

An enjoyable win to end the season and put the Maindy hoodoo to bed!

Rhiwbina Black 4 -1 Pentwyn Dynamos

A real dogged first half performance in which we managed to keep the eventual League Champions at bay - we harried, hasselled & closed down and really made them work for it. The boys all put in a magnificent effort and it was 0-0 at half time.

We tired in the second half and they eventually scored - and I think we just couldnt keep up the work rate - and they smelt blood. They hit us with another 3 goals in a 15 minute period that could have seen us give up.

But we didnt - we got a second wind and the introduction of Willl Fry gave us a different type of outlet up front. Will got invloved straight away and got his reward capitalising on uncertainty between their defence and goalkeeper to finish cooly giving us a consolation goal - final score 1-4.

A little bit more belief during that cricial early period of the seconf half and we might just have gotten soemthing here - but in all honesty Rhiwbina were big, powerful and clinical and deserved the win although I think even Tony would agree - 4-1 flattered them a little.

Grangetown 2 - 4 Pentwyn Dynamos

A good first half and an average second - Again!!! - We went 3 nil up and allowed them to claw it back to 3-2, before finally closing the game out with a 4th late on.

We did ride our luck at times - they hit the post twice early on but we got better as the minutes ticked by. We scored some great goals in the first half - the first was a lovely chip from Steff - beautifully executed from the left corner of the box into the far left of the goal. The second was probably our best team goal of the season - Callum recieved the ball at left back and sent a lovely ball down the line to Chris, who held it up for Danny and he flicked the ball through for Steff - and he made no mistake slotting it into the bottom righ hand corner.

We were in control now and were looking like our old selves - stroking the ball around and looking dangerous. Danny was ruled offside as he struck a great volley into the roof of the net - this looked a harsh decision but no use in arguing.

Our third came when Chris bullied their centre half out of possesion , went through and had his initial shot saved but he gobbled up the rebound taking it past the last man and passing it into an empty net. Next, Steffan saw a screamer come back off the bar - denying him his third hatrick of the season.

We conceded right on the stroke of half time - asleep at the back and faliure of the midfield to track their runner allowed their man through - Brad got a hand to it but it crept over the line for 1-3 at half time.

They scored a second that really shouldnt have stood - a clear hand ball went unpunished and the following through ball was recieved by their man clearly 2 yards offside - the ref looked the other way and it was 2-3.

We have taken the lead in so many games this season and failed to hold it - so this was now a test to see if the boys have listened to what we have been telling them of late about shutting games down and concentrating. It seems they had - we didnt panic and gradually regained control of the game.

Will came on and made an impact straight away - neat little touches feeding fellow sub Swabes - had Grangetwon worried regularly - 2 passes in particualr cut them open but the ref decided Swabes was offside when clean through both times - harshly in my opinion.

We eventually made sure of the 3 points when their keeper dropped the ball and nevr manged to get 2 hands back on it as Caine came in and poked it over the line for 2-4.

Back to winning ways and playing well - lets end the season on a high now boys!
