Just thought you'd all like to know that we had a mention in tonight's South Wales Echo.
It's in the centre pages if you've got a copy.

The quote being:-

"Dan, Sohi, Chris Jugessur and James Makin Scored the goals that secured Thornhill Athletic their third win of the season beating Lisvane 4-3."

Thornhill B v Lisvane Panthers 7/11/09

A wet start on a slippery pitch for this local derby match. Despite this the game started as it was to go on at a terrific pace. Both teams were very well matched and both clearly wanted the win. Thornhill were playing some good football with Evan and the defence clearing the ball from the Thornhill end well. Eventually Dan Sohi saw an opportunity with the lisvane keeper off his line and fired a long shot from the centre circle to open the scoring for Thornhill. This was followed by a great header by Chris Juggessur to take the half time score to 2-0. Unfortunatly Jake had to come off at half time with an injury and loosing his great football skill on the wing was unsettling. Lisvane took advantage with two goals early in the second half the second of which was an unstoppabe shot from their striker.

Thornhill refused to give in and James Makin scored a well deserved goal for Thornhill, followed by another for lisvane. With the score at 3-3 the intensity of the game was unbearable for the fans. But neither team gave up, Adam Salamon kept producing great attacking moves as did James Doyle and the central defence partnership of Andrew Peckham and David Evans was rock solid. With only a few minutes left James Makin struck again to give a final score of Thornhill 4-3 Lisvane. Well done lads a great day and a well deserved victory. Man of the match goes to James Makin for winning the midfield battle in the swamp of the centre circle and the two goals.
