After last weeks success Thornhill went out bouyant. The game started well with some good passing by Thornhill, however Pentwyn's A league credentials soon started to show. We held on well in the first half keeping the score line respectable, but in the second half frustration got the better of us.
Well done lads for giving it your all in tough circumstances. Just remember that the reason why we came up against these guys is that we won in the first round. something that has not happened before, this is still our best ever cup run!

Thornhill B v Maindy Corries 5/11/09
A wet day but a deluge of goals for thornhill with our biggest win of the season. The game started positively with nice passing leading to a great chance for Chris Juggessur who rose well for a great header that hit the bar. Chris quickly made up for this miss with a goal in the first 10 minutes. James Doyle soon took the score to 2-0 with another great shot that the Maindy keeper who had made some great saves stood no chance against.
The score remained unchanged at half time, but Maindy were starting to tire and Thornhill were playing some of their best football. Jake Evans and Andrew Peckham both scored from accute angles, Chris got one more and James Makin scored twice, one from nearly the half way line. But Maindy never gave up and eventually got a deserved goal from a great run by their striker. Andrew then finished the game with a final ball that bounced awkwardly for the Maindy keeper and took the score to 8-1.
A superb team performance with the whole squad giving 100% and great defensive play at the back not allowing Maindy to get going. The man of the match goes to Sean Leonard for coming back from injury and performing so well.
