Match Report 15th September

Thornhill Athletic B A.F.C. v Radyr

After a hard fought win on Saturday the team were very tired but had high expectations of todays game.

Radyr had a strong team with some very big players who simply out paced us in the first half. Thornhill had some highlights with a great penalty saved by Jack (from a classic foul by Harry!) and some very good football by Jake Evans on the wing and David in defence.

The scoreline going into the secound half was not good but the team picked themselves up and played better football after a half time break. (Why do we always do better in the secound half, is there something in the oranges?)

The passing improved with more accurate play leading to far better secound half score line and thornhill challenging the Radyr goal for significant periods of the secound half. This unfortunately didn't lead to a goal but the Radyr coaches commented on our improvement during the game, as did the excellent ref Dec.

The final score didn't really reflect our commitment or skill on the day and we should take heart from the fact that we improved during the game rather than letting it slide.

My man of the match for Thornhill would be Jake Evans for his huge efforts on the wing.
