TAFFS WELL VS CAERAU ELY |
TAFFS WELL 3-2 CAERAU ELY
ONCE AGAIN WE STRUGGLED TO RAISE A TEAM FOR OUR FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON, IT SEEMS PLAYERS THINK ITS NOT WORTH TURNING UP FOR A GAME THAT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO THE FINAL LEAGUE TABLE.
THE BOYS THAT DID TURN OUT DID THE CLUB PROUD HOLDING A STRONG TAFFS WELL SIDE TO ONE GOAL, DESPITE PLAYING 70 MINS WITH ONLY 10 PLAYERS DUE TO A FACIAL INJURY TO DAVE VINCENT ( IT HAS'NT SPOILT HIS GOOD LOOKS) HIS MUM TOLD ME TO WRITE THAT.
THE GAME WAS END TO END WITH BOTH SIDES CREATING GOOD CHANCES, WITH T.W TAKING THE LEAD TWICE BEFORE A BRACE FROM TOM GILBERT PEGGING THEM BACK.
THE WINNER WAS A BIT CONTROVERSIAL, A SHOT ACROSS GOAL FOUND THE CORNER OF THE NET, BUT THE LINESMAN WAS FLAGGING FOR OFFSIDE WHICH WAS OVERRULED BY THE REFEREE, WHO SAID THE OFFSIDE PLAYER WAS NOT INTERFERING WITH PLAY.( HE WAS STOOD IN THE SIX YARD BOX ?)
ALL SAID AND DONE TAFFS WELL DESERVED THIER VICTORY, BUT LAST WORD TO THE BOYS WHO PUSHED THEM ALL THE WAY.
WELL DONE

CAERAU ELY VS RISCA UTD |
CAERAU ELY 4-1 RISCA UTD
CAERAU MADE SURE OF RUNNERS-UP SPOT AFTER THIS VICTORY AGAINST A SPIRITED RISCA SIDE. THE SCORE COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT HIGHER IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR SOME GOOD GOALKEEPING , RESOLUTE DEFENDING AND POOR MISSES BY CAERAU.
AFTER GOING DOWN TO A SILLY GOAL CAERAU PUSHED FOR AN EQUALISER AND GOT THEIR REWARD 10 MINS BEFORE HALF-TIME, A LONG KICK BY KEEPER BURNETT FOUND THE EDGE OF THE BOX AND TOM GILBERT BEAT THE ONCOMING KEEPER WITH AN HEADER TO MAKE IT 1-1.
H-T 1-1
THE SECOND HALF STARTED WITH A PROCESSION OF CHANCES FOR CAERAU ,AND IT WAS AFTER 55 MINS JORDAN COTTERILL MADE IT 2-1. A TACTICAL CHANGE SAW HYWELL DINNICK PUSHED INTO MIDFIELD WHERE HE DULY OBLIGED WITH HIS FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON. DAFFYDD JONES ROUNDED OF THE SCORING 5 MINS FROM TIME. ON A VERY HOT EVENING CREDIT MUST BE GIVEN TO BOTH SIDES AS THEY TRIED TO PLAY FOOTBALL FOR THE WHOLE 90 MINUTES. ALSO A MENTION FOR LIAM BEATTIE WHO DIDNT STOP RUNNING ALL GAME.

CAERAU ELY VS CARDIFF CORRIES |
CAERAU ELY 3-0 CARDIFF CORRIES HOME
A LACKLUSTRE PERFORMANCE BUT STILL 3 POINTS THAT KEEPS US SECOND IN THE TABLE. ONE MORE POINT FROM OUR REMAINING THREE GAMES WILL SECURE RUNNERS-UP SPOT. GOALS FROM CHRIS JONES AND TWO FROM TOM GILBERT WERE ENOUGH AGAINST A SPIRITED CORRIES SIDE THAT REFUSED TO GIVE UP.

CAERAU ELY VS CWMBRAN CELTIC |
CAERAU ELY 0-0 CWMBRAN CELTIC
WHAT A GREAT ADVERT FOR YOUTH FOOTBALL, WITH ARGUABLY THE TWO BEST SIDES IN THE LEAGUE BATTLING OUT A O-O DRAW. FROM START TO FINISH IT COULD HAVE GONE EITHER WAY WITH CHANCES FALLING RIGHT TO THE FINAL WHISTLE.
CWMBRAN STARTED THE MORE BRIGHTLY AND CREATED A FEW CHANCES WHICH WERE DEALT WITH WELL BY THE BACK FOUR OF LOVELL ,VINCENT, FRANKS AND DINNICK. CWMBRAN PRESSURE NEARLY PAID OFF WHEN A SHOT FROM JUST OUTSIDE THE BOX WAS BRILLIANTLY SAVED BY BURNETT IN GOAL, AND IT WAS'NT LONG BEFORE HE WAS CALLED INTO ACTION AGAIN, AFTER A WELL REHEARSED CORNER SAW A PILEDRIVER OF A SHOT HEAD GOAL BOUND BUT WAS PARRIED AWAY.
H-T 0-0
AFTER THE RE-START CAERAU HAD A FEW CHANCES TO TAKE THE LEAD JONNY JONES JUST HEADING OVER, AND THE RELENTLESS RUNNING OF TOM GILBERT NEARLY PAID DIVIDENDS WHEN HIS SHOT WAS HALF SAVED BY THE CELTIC KEEPER AND A DEFENDER CLEARED OFF THE LINE. BURNETT DONE WELL TO SAVE A COUPLE OF ONE ON ONES,BUT CELTIC THOUGHT THEY HAD GRABBED ALL THREE POINTS,WHEN IN THE LAST 2 MINS A BREAK DOWN THE RIGHT SAW THE BALL PLAYED ACROSS THE BOX AND FROM 16 YARDS OUT THE GOAL BOUND SHOT WAS DEFLECTED AROUND THE POST BY BURNETT.
A FARE RESULT IN THE END, A CREDIT TO BOTH CLUBS
F-T 0-0

CAERAU ELY VS TAFFS WELL |
23/03/08
CAERAU ELY 2-1 TAFFS WELL
ONCE AGAIN WE WERE LET DOWN BY A NUMBER OF PLAYERS, CONSIDERING WERE 2ND IN THE LEAGUE IT IS VERY DISSAPOINTING FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND PLAYERS WHO TURN OUT WEEK IN WEEK OUT TO BE LET DOWN EVERY WEEK. THERE'S A LOT OF HARD WORK GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES TO PUT THESE GAMES ON,SO LETS SEE THE SEASON OUT AND TRY TO FINISH RUNNERS-UP OR IF CWMBRAN SLIP UP MAYBE WIN THE LEAGUE.

COTTERILL X2

D VINCENT
A. PARRIS
T. LOW
WITH MOST GAMES FALLING FOWL TO THE WEATHER WE TRAVELLED TO RISCA LOOKING FOR OUR FIRST WIN ON A GROUND WE'VE STRUGGLED ON PREVIOUSLY. THE GAME STARTED WITH BOTH SIDES TRYING TO PLAY FOOTBALL ON A HEAVY PITCH, WITH CHANCES FEW AND FAR BETWEEN, THE BREAK THROUGH CAME FROM A CORNER, AS DAVE VINCENT CLIMBED HIGHEST IN THE BOX TO HEAD HOME. THE SECOND CAME JUST BEFORE HALF TIME WHEN DAFFYDD JONES SLOTTED HOME FROM THE PENALTY SPOT AFTER THE BALL WAS HANDLED IN THE BO.x
H-T 0-2
CAERAU STARTED THE SECOND HALF SLOWLY WHICH ALLOWED RISCA TO CREATE A FEW CHANCES WHICH WERE SAVED WELL BY DAVE BURNETT IN GOAL WHO WAS ABLY ASSISTED BY ETHAN JOHNSTON, DAVE VINCENT, HYWELL DINNICK AND JONNY JONES WHO WAS FILLING IN AT THE BACK. TWO MORE GOALS BY ASHLEY PARRIS AND ANOTHER PENALTY BY JORDAN COTTERILL MADE IT 4-0. RISCA PULLED ONE BACK WITH A GREAT SHOT FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX, BUT COTTERILLS SECOND AND TOM LOWS EFFORT AFTER GREAT WORK BY TOM GILBERT PUT THE GAME OUT OF RISCA'S REACH.
F-T 1-6

CAERLEON..(0)..0 CAERAU ELY..(1)..1
LET DOWN AGAIN BY A NUMBER OF PLAYERS WE TRAVELLED TO CAERLEON WITH A BARE ELEVEN. IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT AGAINST A WELL ORGANISED CAERLEON SIDE WHO MUST TAKE CREDIT FOR THE WAY THEY BATTLED TILL THE FINAL WHISTLE, AND MUST BE DISSAPOINTED NOT TO HAVE TAKEN AT LEAST A POINT. WE SCORED MIDWAY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF AFTER SOME GOOD WORK DOWN THE LEFT, THE GAME WAS END TO END WITH BOTH KEEPERS MAKING GOOD SAVES, AT THE FINAL WHISTLE WE WERE RELIEVED TO HAVE GRABBED ALL THREE POINTS
F-T 0-1
MIKE JONES ( manager)
'WE HAVE PLAYED A LOT BETTER AND LOST, WITH OUR LIMITED RESOUCES I AM HAPPY TO GET ALL THREE POINTS'

BEATTIE X2

COTTERILL
D.JONES
GILBERT
A FANTASTIC DISPLAY BY THE YOUNGSTERS,WHO DOMINATED FROM START TO FINISH. THE RANGERS CAME TO CAERAU LYING IN THIRD PLACE IN THE LEAGUE, ONE PLACE BEHIND CAERAU BUT WITH A COUPLE OF GAMES IN HAND SO THERE WAS EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR.
FROM THE FIRST WHISTLE CAERAU STARTED TO CREATE CHANCE AFTER CHANCE BUT COULD NOT FIND THE BACK OF THE NET. IT TOOK UNTIL THE 2OTH MINUTE BEFORE LIAM BEATTIE PUT THE BALL AWAY TO MAKE IT 1-0. IT WAS'NT LONG BEFORE BEATTIE GRABBED HIS SECOND AFTER SOME NEAT FOOTBALL BETWEEN COTTERILL JONES AND BEATTIE. JONNY JONES NOTCHED THE THIRD AFTER BEING OUT NUMBERED 3 TO 1 HE CONTROLLED WELL IN THE BOX TO FIRE HOME.
H-T 3-0
THE SECOND HALF STARTED AS THE FIRST FINISHED CONSTANT CAERAU PRESSURE PRODUCING TWO MORE GOALS FOR COTTERILL AND DAFFYD JONES. AS SUBS WERE MADE THE GAME STARTED TO GET A BIT SCRAPPY, BUT A BRAKE BY TOM GILBERT SAW HIM BROUGHT DOWN IN THE BOX . UP STEPPED DAVE BURNETT FROM GOAL TO TAKE THE PEN,
HIS SHOT REBOUNDING OFF THE FOOT OF THE POST ONLY FOR TOM GILBERT TO HIT THE BACK OF THE NET. THE RANGERS HAD A FEW CHANCES NEAR THE END BUT COULDNT MAKE ANY COUNT. SO CAERAU RAN OUT DESERVED WINNERS
F-T 6-0

NEWPORT YMCA V CAERAU ELY |
NEWPORT YMCA..(0)...2
CAERAU ELY....(0)...2
O.G
COTTERILL
ANOTHER COUPLE OF POINTS DROPPED, BUT OUR RESOUCES ARE GETTING STRETCHED, WITH PLAYERS INJURED, AND LETTING US DOWN, WE TRAVELLED TO NEWPORT WITH 11 PLAYERS, SO IT WAS GOING TO BE A STRUGGLE FROM THE START.
THE GAME STARTED BRIGHTLY AS WE CREATED A FEW CHANCES, CHRISSY JONES HAD A GOOD HEADER THAT JUST WENT OVER THE BAR. WE WERE CREATING MORE CHANCES THAN YMCA BUT COULD NOT PUT ANY AWAY, AN EARLY INJURY TO JONNY JONES MADE THE TASK A BIT MORE DIFFICULT, BUT CREDIT TO BOOTS HE STAYED ON AND FINISHED THE 90 MINS.
THE HALF FINISHED WITH A CORNER FOR YMCA , A FAR POST HEADER WAS WELL SAVED BY DAVE BURNETT IN GOAL.
H-T 0-0
THE SECOND HALF WAS A BIT LIKE THE 1ST
BOTH TEAMS STARTED TO MAKE MORE AND MORE CHANCES, AS BOTH SIDES TIRED GAPS WERE OPENING, TOM GILBERT ,JORDAN COTTERILL AND TOM COLE ALL GOING CLOSE.
THE OPENING GOAL CAME 20 MINS FROM TIME, A BALL OVER THE TOP CAUGHT OUR DEFENCE FLAT FOOTED AND THERE STRIKER PLACED THE BALL PAST BURNETT.
THE BOYS RALLIED AND FROM A CORNER AN UNFORTUNATE YMCA DEFENDER DEFLECTED THE BALL INTO HIS OWN NET.
WITH 10 MINS TO GO CAERAU TOOK THE LEAD, JORDAN COTTERILL POKING THE BALL PAST THE KEEPER, THE GAME WAS STILL NOT OVER AS A CARBON COPY OF YMCA'S FIRST GOAL TIED THE GAME.
A FAIR RESULT IN THE END.
WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH THE 2 YMCA BOYS WHO GOT INJURED A SPEEDY RECOVERY.
WELL DONE LADS
