Keeper situation

12th August 2010

With the expected departure of Shaun Pearson to Barrow - where everyone at the club wishes him success - and the decision of Paul Pritchard to transfer to his local club Warrington, there is speculation about who will come in, as whoever it is will have a big gap to fill.

An announcement will be made when the paper work is all completed.

final game 4-0 at home

11th August 2010

Final pre season game ended with a 4-0 win to us, scorers Marc Evasn 2 and Jamie Hobson 2, match report to follow.

Brief details I have received report that Pwllheli had a good start to the game and could have scored early on, but missed a good opportunity when our keeper dropped a cross but they hit the bar.

As the game progressed we took more control and passed the ball well and at pace, very good displays from Darren Thomas and Marc Evans plus 2 good goals from youngster Jamie Hobson.

3-0 at home to Pilks

9th August 2010

A good 3-0 result against a strong and physical Pilkington's side led by an old friend and rival, Lee Webber

A late kick off at 8.:15 pm on a mild, damp night and a greasy pitch, the only squad members missing were Robbie Williams (still out injured) and Leigh Craven, we started kicking away from the club house playing our recent steady build up from back to front, getting the ball wide and on the ground. We had a lot of possession during this first half with the defence looking comfortable and the middle controlled by Rich Higham, Kev Roberts, Yws Gwynedd and Darren Gowans playing at a high tempo that the visitors struggled to cope with at times. Darren Thomas and Marc Evans had a free roll to roam and both caused problems with their closing down and quick turn of foot. Pilks had their chances too, but in general were well marshalled with the ever dependable Shaun Pearson controlling his box. Despite the flowing football, we did not create too many clear cut chances and it was an unexpected chip from Austin that caught them square and the alert Marc Evans to coolly spring the offside and side foot past the advancing keeper to open the scoring on the half hour. This set them back a bit and we mounted continuous pressure with a stream of passes out wide to get in behind the defence. This paid off on 40 minutes when a good ball from Gerallt Jones was fed on by Yws Gwynedd to Marc Evans who opted for a back post ground cross that found Darren Thomas to shoot home at the near post to make it 2-0 at half time.

A few changes at the break including Paul Pritchard between the posts, who made an early name by diving low to his left to save a well struck penalty. The fight fell from them a bit and a penalty to us from a great cut back from Darren Thomas to Yws Gwynedd who was bundled over to allow a rejuvenated Loggs to step up and clinically finish. The remainder of the game was rather one sided with their keeper making some good stops and a fine turn by Darren Thomas with a curling shot slamming against the post to rebound to safety. The game ran down to a finish with some tired legs at 3-0 and a satisfying night's work.

The squad is taking shape and the style and formation are being honed with the emphasis on the 3'P's' passing, possession and pace -  all of which we appear to have in abundance; we look well set to have another crack at the league and hopefully upset a few of the big guns out there these days.
