Sorry for taking a few days to get the blog updated but not so much spare time in our house since Josef's new baby brother arrived.
Well we finally got the season started after a wet and miserable Summer break and had a full turnout of players in time for kick off at Llanedeyrn High School. A big thank you to the parents for getting the team there on time for our first games.
After a short delay getting the pitches organised the team finally got a chance to see if we could start this season as well as we ended the last one and ended up with a mixed bag of results.
Heol Hir Black 0 Maindy Corries 4
A tough first game against a very organised Maindy side who unfortunately for us were just more awake than we were and proved too quick for us. Despite the scoreline there was still some good football played but our sleepy start made it hard to get in the game and give a good account of ourselves.
Heol Hir Black 1 Llanedeyrn Bulldogs White 1
After the slow start in the first game the team showed a lot more of the kind of football we are used to seeing in this game and made a game of it. Despite going behind the team worked hard to stay in with a chance of getting something out of the game and with what could be an early contender for goal of the season (or maybe cross of the season) Lucas got the goal that earned us a draw. A much better performane from the whole team and some signs of the football they know they are all capable of.

Heol Hir Black 3 Llanedeyrn Bulldogs Red 2
As usual the team saved their best for the last game and did well to get a good lead by half time and despite a good comeback from the Bulldogs in the second half did enough to earn our first win of the season. A good all round performance with some great passing and movement and some excellent defending to hold onto the win.

Man of the match
This week Man of the match went to Gethin for his consistent hard work on and off the ball for the whole time he was on the pitch. Well done Gethin!
