Squad Update

13th February 2010

a quick heads up on the squad:

Steve Kehoe has a fractured ankle not pinned so hopefully a quick mend but he is unlikely to feature much again this season, big loss with his experience and our small squad

Liam Shannahan has moved to Holyhead with our good wishes, he has not had a chance to show us how good he really is due to the outstanding form that Shaun has shown throughout the season. It does leave us exposed a bit but Lee and Ian did not want to stand in Liam's way.

We have had a couple of approaches for our players but we do not want to lose anyone from our squad without replacements lined up. We have had players ask if they can move to us, but again we do not want to overburden the squad either. The managers are happy with who we have and confident that they can keep us in the title race, but we do need to avoid injuries and suspensions. Players of course want to play every game, but the rotation is working so far.

We will keep you updated with any changes.

3-0 at home to Llanfair

11th February 2010

Another local derby and another tough game, they are never easy despite relative league positions, it's always a world cup final.

The pitch was not too bad considering the recent weather and we had managed to roll it and put some sand down where needed. A cold, dry night and a fair turnout of 150 bearing in mind that there was another local match in Holyhead (there always is!) and big games for supporters of english teams on the TV..

Starting line-up: Pearson, Jones G, Mitchell, Gibbs, Austin, Gwynedd, Williams C, Kehoe, Thomas, Roberts DG, Evans, subs: Roberts K, Craven, Gowans, Lloyd, Higham, Shannahan suspended for one game Robbie Williams.

Kicking away from the club house we started in our usual ‘home' gung ho way and took the game straight to them. A wide right ball to Thomas saw it whipped in for Gwynedd to strike, a couple of rebounds until it fell to the predatory Loggs to fire home on 6 minutes. If we thought this would open the floodgates, we were very mistaken; Llanfair came back from the kick-off and put us on the back foot. They have some young, quick players through the middle and up front, they got it wide and Shaun was called into action several times. The midfield battles continued throughout the half with one challenge, although certainly not deliberate, resulting in Steve Kehoe being stretchered off and taken to hospital with ankle damage - not sure how bad at this point. He was replaced by the versatile Kev Roberts in the middle. The game went really flat up to half time with nor little threat to either goal, although a well worked Loggs move down the right saw a Danny Glyn shot come back off the keeper for Yws to put away only to have it dis-allowed for off side.

2^nd half and our visitors came at us with a vengeance and put us under a lot of pressure, they were competitive and ‘in your face', as in most derby games, forcing us back and getting in on goal. They won a number of free kicks, but our defence stood firm if somewhat hurriedly at times. Darren Gowans came on for Gerallt Jones, shortly followed by Lee Craven for Danny Glyn, with the fresh legs running wide down the flanks starting to tire them out, but it was really against the run of play when a good wide ball to Lee Craven saw him cross it and Yws to strike for goal, Ben Heald had it covered but Loggs popped up to head it the other way and put us two up. It was now more one way and another Craven cross fell to Gowans whose shot was smothered and Gowans then played in Loggs but Heald did well to save at the near post. On 80 minutes a quick free kick wide right had Darren Thomas lift a cross into the box, where Ozzy rose high to head down into the bottom corner and secure all 3 points.

A word for the ref too, the oft criticised Mr Trigg (elsewhere I might add) had an excellent game again well supported by his two assistants.

A great win that puts us top on goal difference with Flint and elsewhere Buckley lost unexpectedly to Lex and neighbours Holyhead trounced Caernarfon 5-1 as they continue their run of league form
