LLANGEFNI RESERVES 2-5 VALLEY ATHLETIC

23rd July 2014

Llangefni Reserves were given a lesson on how to keep possession and how to work hard off the ball by a strong looking Valley Athletic side. Vince and Daf are still experimenting with different systems and trying new players in different positions so there's no need to panic as we know we can play better and things will improve before the start of the season. Valley deservedly went in 3-0 up at the break and I'm sure the half-time whistle came as a relief to the Cefni players.

There was a big improvement in the second half performance and the players seemed to understand their roles in the team a lot better than the 1st half. Iwan Williams pulled a goal back for the home side with a great looping header into the far corner. Cefni were now on top and looked as if it was only a matter of time before they scored their 2nd but Valley caught them on the break and although the first through ball looked miles offside, the flag stayed down and the goal was given. The away team made it 5-1 soon after to rule out any possibility of a comeback. Llangefni kept going and made it 5-2 after Romeo Esin tapped it in to make the scoreline look more respectable. The 2nd half finished 2-2 so it shows the team has the character to bounce back and I'm sure after a few more games the understanding between last season's players and the new players will get better.
