Marlboro Black 2 - 1 Pentwyn Dynamos

                                                    Viney 

A really tight game we didnt deserve to lose - in fact we probably shaded it and were disappointed not to win.

We started well and created several good chances but couldnt finish them - and then went behind to an easily preventable goal - losing the ball in midfield and failing to clear despit several good chances to do so.

1 nil down at half time but still in it and I told the boys to keep playing but find an extra 10% each.

They did just that and we ran the second half - and our equaliser was the best team goal we scored all season.

Callum played a ball up to Danny who cut inside and laid it off to Ryan Fry, Ryan played it back to Danny who passed to Swabes - Swabes teed up Chris and he unleashed a lovely angled shot into the bottom left hand corner.

We threatened and threatened but Marlboro stood strong - and won it with practically the last kick of the game! A ball over the top caught us out - The only one Ellis didnt get to all game! Brad  was in no mans land and was lobbed.

A good performance to end the season - just a shame lady luck wasnt on our side.

Pentwyn Dynamos 4 - 1 Ty Celyn

Foulkes, Gibbins, Viney, Donnelly

 

A decent performance - although you always felt we had a couple more gears to go up, but we never needed to. I was a little disappointed as we should have scored alot more, but in fairness to the boys we have just played 6 games in 14 days! so a little tiredness would be tolerated!

 

We had most of the ball, controlled the play and never really looked in trouble. Ty Celyn played some nice football and they had us wary of their counter attacks - their striker was a handful.

 

Charlie put us 1 up with nice individual effort. He burst into the box on the right hand side went past 2 defenders and unleashed a lovely shot into the top left hand corner.

 

1-0 up at half time and although we had more of the ball and controlled the game, we hadnt had the efforts on goal so we couldnt complain.

 

We scored some lovely goals Today and the 3 we scored in the second half were lovely.

 

Danny capitalised on Ty Celyns failure to clear and sneaked in behind and lobbed the keeper to make it 2 nil.

 

Cian played the ball in to Danny, who flicked it up for Chris - and Chris unleashed a left foot volley into the top left hand corner from the edge of the box for 3 nil.

 

And Cian finished it off with a 30 yard screamer - catching the keeper off his line.

 

Our last home game of the season and we ended it with a win and some cracking goals.

Pentwyn Dynamos 2 - 7 St Albans

Donnelly, Foulkes

 

Always the hardest game of the season - and this season even more so as St Albans have already reached the cup final, won the Tesco cup and they are unbeaten all season.

 

A nightmare start as the ref cried off 20 mins before kick off, leaving me to pick up the whistle - and the boys with no coaching against the best team in the league!

 

We put in a good battling performance in the first half - although we went behind early on we got ourselves back into it when Cian latched onto a ball across the box and finished well.

 

We then went ahead through a bit of good fortune - Charlies flick being deflected up over Elliots head and into the net.

 

We held our own for quite a while but just before half time St Albans levelled it.

 

2-2 at half time and I told the boys they must keep closing down, contesting the high balls, concentrating and keep it tight.

 

We did none of that at all! St Albans scored straight from the restart and we gave up completley - they scored every 5 mins from then on and it finished 2-7.

We return to Pontprennau for training this coming week - Tuesday 6-7pm.

 

We will then switch to Thursdays 6-7pm for the remainder of the season
