Llanrhystud 1 vs 1 U.W.A. Res

Llanrhystud extended their unbeaten run to five games with hard fought draw against a talented UWA side. Both sides started brightly, with most of the play being fought in the middle of the park. Llanrhystud looked solid at the back as the returning Charlie Oldrid, Andrew Simkins and Aaron Boyes kept the visiting strikers quiet. It was this platform which allowed Llanrhystud to attack more, and player / manager Darren Davies came ever more involved. After good work from Darren Davies, a cross was floated towards the visiting goal keeper, who fumbled, and allowed the free-scoring Gareth Jones a volley finish. The stubborn aggressive style of Llanrhystud gave the UWA little chances, and their determination was encapsulated by the hard tackle of Darren Davies on half time, which unfairly resulted in a booking. The second half was an entertaining affair, as both sides looked to secure a win. UWA looked the more likely to score, and would of done, bar a superb save by home goal keeper, Gary Davies After persistent pressure the equaliser finally came for UWA when a hopeful ball into the box, wasn�t held by Davies, and the visiting striker looped a header over Davies and the despairing defender. Towards the end of the game Llanrhystud looked the more threatening, and indeed should of secured all three points after a wonderful run by Antony Tedaldi, but the midfielder couldn�t find the finish with only the keeper to beat. In the final seconds another run by Antony Tedaldi, leaving three players in his wake, produced a ball across the penalty area, and Nathen Puosall managed to lift the ball over the bar, when it seemed easier to score. Starting XI : Gary Davies, Andrew Simkins, Aaron Boyes, Charlie Oldrid, Craig Davies, Dylan Jones (c), Darren Davies (p/m), Antony Tedaldi, Dean Tinsley, Chris Tedaldi, Gareth Jones. Subs: Robbie Jones (oap), Nathen Puosall.
