Great Start To The Season

Three weeks into a new season and the team is already playing the exciting football we know they are capable of and have earned some great results against difficult opposition.
The team quickly recovered from losing the first game of the season against Maindy Corries and have now gone 8 games unbeaten with 5 wins and 3 draws so well done to you all.
It was great on Saturday to hear the other teams talking about how good we were and how hard it was to play against us.
Lets see if we can keep this going and show the league that we are a team that plays great passing football, scores excellent goals and is hard to beat because we attack and defend as a team.
Don't forget there are no games on Saturday 11th October but training will be on Monday 13th as usual. If possible could parents bring completed registration forms and club fees and hand to Simon at next weeks training.
Thanks for the continued support from all parents.

Match Roundup - Saturday 4th October

After a slight delay in kicking off due to problems with goalposts at Waterhall the team started what looked like being a difficult morning against some good sides who have given us a tough time in the past. Unfortunately Adam couldn't make it and there were a few decisions to be made to bolster the defense before the first game.

Heol Hir Black 2 Caerau Ely 1
This game started with Liam giving Sam a break in goals and showing that even out of position he gives 100% only being beaten by one well taken shot in an exciting game which saw Tyrone and Lucas both scoring great goals to take a well deserved lead and first win of the day.
Scorer(s) Lucas 1 Tyrone 1
Heol Hir Black 1 Heath Park Rangers 0
A tough game against a team that has been really difficult to beat in the past ended with us taking a hard earned win through some great passing and movement and solid defensive play from Richard. Sam as usual kept control of his goalmouth making it impossible for Heath to get the goal they needed after some hard work and persistence from Kyle, Alice and Josef resulted in Josef getting his first goal of the season.
Scorer(s) Josef 1
Heol Hir Black 1 Fairwater Red 1
The last game of the day started brightly with some great attacking play from Kyle on the right, Josef in a new left wing role and Lucas in his favourite striking role which after what seemed like dozens of attempts resulted in a well deserved lead. Some excellent defending by Matthew and Liam with Gethin and Tyrone controlling the middle of the pitch made it look like we would get three wins for the first time this season but Fairwater found the net with a great bit of football and a well placed shot. Despite piling on pressure and too many shots to count the team were unable to get a winner but were pleased to finish another week unbeaten.
Scorer(s) Lucas 1
Man Of The Match
This weeks Man Of The Match was a difficult decision with a few players coming very close after some of the best football the team has played this season. The award this week went to Josef for adapting really well to a new role on the left wing which, surprisingly saw him tracking back and defending, some great link up play with Kyle and Lucas and getting the winner against Heath Park Rangers. Well Done Josef!!
