Match Report (4-10-09)

Hello Everyone,

Firstly, a big thank you to our kit Sponsor Dave, who came to watch the boys today. Unfortunately, we are not in the same financial position yet as Man City so, we couldn't offer him the 'Executive Box' (or any Executive Box for that matter) or prawn sandwiches for the visit. But I am sure he would have been tempted by the waft of 'Bacon Butties' emanating from the main stand area . Hope you enjoyed the game Dave, and many thanks again for your support.

So, it's on to the game. It wasn't the result we might of hoped for against a decent Penyffordd side who instinctively knew what to do in front of our goal. Yet again we where off to a sluggish start with the boys seemingly lacking the football 'nous' to deal with the opposition. The boys where all over the place position wise but I have to say we did show a marked improvement in the final two quarters with good performance's from some of the guy's. Consequently, it was too late to claw back the overall goal difference needed for a win. I keep repeating myself but, we will have to find a way of turning the skill and attitude that the guy's put into training and convert it into match winning performances on a Sunday.

We will have the full 'investigation' (and press-ups) on Tuesday. But I do believe we have to go through this albeit painful process of making mistakes in order for us to develop into better players for the future.

Many thanks to the Penyffordd Coaches and Players for their sportsmanship, which contributed to a good game of football.

See you at Training!!

Mark
