Heol Hir Black 2 - Llanedeyrn Bulldogs Red 2
A bit of a slow start getting used to the playing surface but some bright football in patches led to a couple of good chances which were unlucky to not find the net. A little confusion over the goalkeepers area after some good work from Liam holding off the opposing striker led to an unfortunate opening goal for the Bulldogs. It stayed 1-0 to Llanedeyrn up until half time. The second half saw Tyrone and Lucas introduced and this added a few more options leading to a good ball from Gethin finding Lucas who shot well but the keeper made a save only for Liam to net the loose ball putting us level. Llanedeyrn grabbed a second with some decent passing and movement but Kyle was able to put away an equaliser within normal time. The referee decided to continue play to finish at the same time as the other game and the second half seemed to go on forever with both teams coming close to grabbing a winner. We came closest a couple of times but the game ended (eventually) a hard fought 2-2 draw.
Scorer(s): Liam 1, Kyle 1
Heol Hir Black 0 - Llanedeyrn Bulldogs White 1
This game was played as a 9 a side game allowing us to put Kyle and Lucas up front with Gethin and Tyrone paired in the middle and Matt and Alice on the wings, Sam in goal with Liam and Adam in defense and Josef an eager substitute.
A slow start with a few decent moves but we were not quick enough to the ball leaving Llanedeyrn space to play and this soon led to a good finish from their number 7 and we were 1-0 down at half-time. A bit of a change with Josef on the left, Matt at left back for Adam to rest a half and Alice swapping places with Liam at right back to allow him to work the wings. Some great saves from Sam kept the scoreline close and gave us a chance to stay in the game. The changes did make a difference but again Llanedeyrn were just that bit quicker to the ball and did a good job of keeping the scoreline at 1-0 until the final whistle.

Heol Hir Black 0 - Llanedeyrn Bulldogs Under 10's 2
Another game played with 9 a side against the younger Llanedeyrn side. Not our best performance against a quick team that were keen to win every ball and pass around us. Both sides did fairly well in the first half to make chances but it stayed 0-0 until half time. The second half saw some good chances but it just wasn't our day in front of goal and two decent attacks ending in two good finishes put us 2-0 down with little time left to get back in the game. The game ended with a well earned 2-0 win for the Llanedeyrn side who really tested us and showed what can happen if one team keeps being first to the ball.
Scorer(s) : None
