Heol Hir Black 1 - Ty Celyn 1
A chance to show our quality football to a team we may be combining with next season and the game started well. A decent start with some great defending by Adam and Richard and Alice and Matthew working hard down the wings creating a few attacking chances for Tyrone, Gethin and Lucas but none found the net. Unfortunately Ty Celyn were able to get a goal from a decent move and the first half ended 0-1.
Three changes for the second half with Kyle, Josef and Liam on for Lucas, Alice and Adam. Matthew dropped into defense, Josef went onto the left, Liam on the right and Kyle up front. The changes made a big impact and Josef worked hard down the left and Liam had a great long distance shot which the keeper did well to stop. Tyrone as usual worked hard in the middle with Gethin and made himself a great chance with a few minutes left. GOAL!! A neat finish which levelled the game at 1-1. Both teams tried to get a winner but the game ended a pretty fair 1-1 draw.

Heol Hir Black 1 - Caerau Ely 1
The second game started brightly with Matthew and Josef playing wide, Tyrone and Kyle controlling the middle and Lucas making Caerau's defense work to keep him out. Sam and his defense were only really tested once in the first half with Caerau playing a great ball across Adam and Liam and a decent shot just going wide. The first half ended 0-0 setting up an exciting second half with all to play for.
Three changes after the break with Richard, Gethin and Alice on for Adam, Tyrone and Liam. Gethin took control of the middle of the pitch and fed some fantastic passes to the wide and front players as well as putting in some great tackles. Alice was doing a great job down the right when she put a brilliant cross in which Caerau couldnt deal with and found Josef running in at the back post. GOAL!! A tidy finish with his right foot for a change, 1-0 up and the team were looking to add a quick second. The chance came when Kyle worked hard to put pressure on Caerau's defense and earned a corner. A beautiful corner from Kyle dropped into the box and Lucas rose above the defense to head the ball just over the bar. Despite some great defending by Richard and Matthew and goodwork from Sam in goal Caerau created a good chance with a clever ball finding an unmarked player who neatly placed it under Sam who came close to getting to it. The team came close to getting a winner but when the whistle went the game ended a hard fought and entertaining 1-1 draw.

Heol Hir Black 1 - Heol hir Red 0
After two difficult draws there was only one chance left to get a win and it was against a Red's side who have continued to improve this season. The team knew that if they concentrated and stuck to playing quick passing football they had a chance of getting a result. Liam and Alice started well making use of the full width of the pitch and Sam sat in front of the defensive pairing of Adam and Richard to keep the Red's out of Matthew goals. Tyrone and Lucas worked hard together to create some early attacking chances but were unlucky not to find the net. It was Alice's hard work on the right that made the first shooting opportunity when after skipping past a few Red's players she played a lovely cross field ball to Liam who struck it beautifully. GOAL!! A stunning finish left the keeper with no chance of stopping it and a well deserved 1-0 lead before half time.
The second saw Gethin, Josef and Kyle come on to give Tyrone, Richard and Lucas a rest after all their hard work. Gethin did a great job of controlling the passing from the middle and again made some brilliant tackles. More brilliant work down the right from Alice and Josef down the left created chances to extend the lead and Kyle came the closest to getting the second. A good run down the left from Josef ended with a neat pass to Kyle who played a light touch across the goal mouth and was so unlucky to just roll wide. Another great ball from Alice's left boot found Josef who volleyed a right footed shot just wide. Late on a brilliant corner from Alice found Liam who again struck it beautifully and was unlucky not to score. The whistle went soon after and Liam's first half goal was enough to take the win.

Man of The Match
With great performances from the whole team today it was an extremely difficult decision again this week. It was decided that for hard work up and down the wing both attacking and defending, solid tackling and neat passing, oh, and scoring a tidy right footed goal that Josef would take this week's Man of the Match award. Well played this week Josef and the whole team for giving the spectators three entertaining games to watch..
