Pentwyn Leisure Centre 

Under 15 A Division

Pentwyn Dynamos 3 - 3 AFC Whitchurch

Viney (2), Gibbins

Our matches against Whitchurch are never dull - these two teams are so well matched you never know who will win - and there are always goals!

We started well and were slightly shading it but fell behind after a lack of communication at the back led to Mikey latching on to a lose ball and smacking it into the top right hand corner. Despite this we were looking good at the back - Matty and Callum both getting forward at every opportunity plus Huw and Ryan at centre back looked like they had played their together for years -  you would never have known it was their first match together.

We never let our heads drop though and were soon back in it - eventually equalising through Chris - finishing well from just inside the box.

Whitchurch were always a threat and Mikey was looking up for it but we started to get at them through playing our passing game - Danny, Ben and Chris having chances but it remained 1-1 at half time.

We started the second half well and eventually took the lead through Chris with a lovely goal - he chested the ball down shifted it inside and cooly slotted home. 

We looked confident now and the Whitchurch threat seemed to drop a little and we looked good for a win. We went 3-1 up with a well taken goal from Danny, drilling a left foot shot into the bottom left hand corner.

I take the blame for what happened next - Feeling the match was won and the need to get as many of my subs on as possible, I took off too many of our main men - and this lead to us losing our way.

Whitchurch smelt blood and went for us in a big way and we went from controlling the game to hanging on inside 10 minutes!

Mikey got one back with a great header - although I felt the crosser was offside, but these things happen.

With minutes left Mikey equalised getting on the end of a lovely freekick - the delivery was great - and he flicked it into the net.

After being 3-1 down this felt like 2 points dropped but on the balance of chances a draw was probably about right.

I wont be making hasty substitutions again - this division is way too competetive to assume you have won until the final whistle. Well played boys - this one was my fault.

Whitchurch Hospital

Under 15 A Division

Rhiwbina Black 5 - 0 Pentwyn Dynamos 

Always one of the hardest matches - and Today was no different but the scoreline flattered Rhiwbina.

The first half was really tight with few chances for either side as the midfield contested the majority of the first period. Danny and Ben were linking well down the left hand side and Charlie was running the midfield in tandem with Huw who was looking good also.

Ellis and Ryan were playing really well at centre back  - and both full backs Callum and Matty were on song so everything felt good.

We fell behind to an unstoppable shot from Alfie which flew into the top corner a few minutes before halftime.

Right on half time Jared was brought down and we had won ourselves a chance to equalise with a penalty - which we missed! our third penalty this season and we have now missed them all!

The second half was close again for the first 15 minutes and you felt we might just grab that equaliser.

It never came though and Rhiwbina took complete control as they threw on a few of their big guns Tony had rested from the starting line up. Aftwer the second goal went in our heads went down and making several substitutions weakened us - the match finishing 5 nil.

The penalty miss was critical for me - had we scored it, we would have run them alot closer. Rhiwbina will be the ones to press St Albans again this season.

The Marl

Grangetown Athletic 1 - 3 Pentwyn Dynamos

                                           Williams

                                                     McLaggon

                                                     Gibbins

This looked like a great draw - C Division side, a chance to give everyone lots of playing time and a guaranteed place in the next round - I couldnt have been more wrong!

My old mate Ramos knows how I like to play and set his boys up so well to stop it - they closed us down contstantly, never gave us time on the ball and counter attacked really well.

You couldnt tell Grangetown Athletic were a C Division side at all - I would predict them doing very well this season. It was tight all game and we never got going - but we did take the lead after 30 mins. Danny laid it off to Kieran and he drilled a low shot under the keeper.

In the second half we improved and created lots of chances - Danny and Kieran might have a had a hatrick each but Grangetown kept themselves in it and the longer it stayed 1-0 the more I felt they could equalise - they hit the post and we should have taken that as our warning.

Their back four were so well organised - George Graham would have been proud! we were getting caught offside way too often as they kept a great line and when we did get through we missed!

With 20 minutes to go Grangetown got their goal - a deserved one on the balance of play too - and try as we might it was 1-1 at full time.

So extra time it was then and this could go either way as the game was now end to end.

The first period ended still level and it was 10 mins away from penalties!

We upped it a bit in the second period but so did Grangetown and it was only 2 good pieces of play that won it for us:

We won a corner that Danny took quickly - catching them asleep. He played the ball to Jared who cut inside and smashed in an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box.

It was Danny then who ensured of the victory chipping the keeper from just outside the box - with a little help from the wind!

Grangetown Athletic were fantatstic and didnt deserve to lose - its a shame that this wasnt a league match as a draw would have been a fair result after 90 mins.

Tremorfa Park

Under 15 A Division

St Albans 6 - 0 Pentwyn Dynamos

This is always a very difficult match - The Buns are the strongest team in the league, they havent lost a match since Under 13s and we knew what to expect.

We battled hard and kept it at 0-0 for 25 mins and broke several times ourselves and might have scored and a couple of occasions.

We gave a way a sloppy first goal and a mistake at the back caused the second. A third and fourth followed and we found ourselves four-nil down at half time.

A better performance in the second half saw us only concede a further two goals and in all honesty I was fairly pleased with how we battled and made them work for it. Our best chance to score was when Charlie hit the post with a great effort - unfortunatley we just didnt get that bit of luck.
