Match Roundup Saturday 25th October

A welcome local fixture this weekend and another Heol Hir derby at Cefn Onn School.
Sadly no Adam again this week. Let's hope he is feeling better and is back training soon.

Heol Hir Black 0 - Ely Rangers 0
A tough first game but the team were keen to improve on last week and really tested the Ely defense early on. They came close throughout the first half with some great chances that on any other day Josef would have netted but unfortunately not today. Ely were kept from scoring by some great defending from Richard and Liam and great work in the middle by Gethin and Tyrone. More of the same in the second half despite bringing on Kyle for Josef and Alice for Matthew we just couldnt find the net. Some very close efforts from Lucas and Tyrone late on almost grabbed a late win but the game ended goalless.
Scorer(s) None
Heol Hir Black 1 - Ty Celyn 2
The second game got off to a bad start with a goal going in from a corner which we failed to defend and a well worked second putting us 2-0 down within a few minutes. The team picked themselves up and through some hard work and great passing Alice got us a great goal to get back in the game. The second half started with Richard on for Josef and Gethin on for Tyrone and was much more like the football we are used to. Some great saves from Sam stopped Ty Celyn from scoring any more but Lucas and Kyle just couldnt get an equaliser.
Scorer(s) Alice 1
Heol Hir Black 4 - Heol Hir Red 0
Last time we met the Red's were brilliant defensively and the game ended 0-0 so the team knew they would have to work hard to get a result this time around. The game started with Lucas and Liam resting and Matthew giving Sam a break in goals allowing him a game in defense with Richard. Our midfield took control early on with some brilliant passing and excellent work from Josef and Alice on the wings and Gethin and Tyrone bossing the centre. This soon set Kyle up for a stunner of an opening goal. This was followed soon after by a goal from Josef getting into a great position to volley the ball over the line and another great finish from Kyle. Half time the Red's were short a player and Tyrone stepped up to help them out. After watching patiently during the first half Lucas came on in his usual striker role with Kyle dropping into the middle and Liam taking over from Matthew in goal. The scoreline could have been a lot worse for the Reds if Jack hadnt worked hard in goal to stop non stop shooting chances for Lucas and Kyle and it took some great team play from Lucas setting Kyle up for his third to make it a well deserved 4 -0 win.
Scorer(s) Kyle 3, Josef 1
Man of The Match
A tough call this week with every one of the team playing some of their best football in patches but for consistent hard work, excellent movement on and off the ball and the teams first hat-trick of the season this weeks Man of The Match went to Kyle. Great work Kyle. Well done.
