After last weeks mixed bag of results the team worked hard at training to improve on a few things and it showed out on the pitch with some great results.

As usual our derby against the Reds was a hard fought game which, despite some good attacking play, ended in a draw due to some solid defending by the Reds who did a great job of getting bodies behind the ball. A better first game this week by our team who made some good chances but were held off by a new look Reds team with some promising new players. Josef came close to getting what could have been a Goal of the Season contender when, after some great build up play, Lucas whipped a lovely ball across the box and Josef''s diving header attempt just went wide.

Always a difficult side to beat but the team put in a great performance to come out winners with some brilliant work on the wings by Alice and Liam resulting in both of them scoring. Liam scored from the right wing after making a break and cutting inside before letting loose with a thunderous shot which gave the keeper no chance. Alice scored a well deserved first goal of the season after working hard up and down the wing making numerous chances. Some good passing and movement was finished with a well placed shot across the face of the goal which , for once, Josef left run watching it over the line and didn't try to poach for himself. Pentyrch put up a good fight but due to some rock solid defending by Adam and Richard and great saves from Sam were unable to score more than one.

Heol Hir Black 2 Canton Rangers 0
A great result against a team that beat us 3 - 0 last time we met them. As usual the team saved some of their best football for the last game and were great to watch with Gethin and Tyrone bossing the middle of the pitch. This left us free to attack at will on the wings and we were able to repeatedly put pressure on the defenders resulting in two brilliant goals, one each for Kyle and Lucas. Kyle with a trademark net burster which would have taken the keepers hands off if he had got to it and a bit of individual skill and commitment from Lucas who took the ball through the defense shrugging off tackles to find the back of the net. Another great goalkeeping performance from Sam and some solid defending by Matthew and Liam kept Canton from scoring earning Sam's second clean sheet of the day.
