Afan Lido Under 14 Colts back with a win (Jan
29) 18:30 |
|
On Saturday 23rd January the Under 14's Colts finally got back into
action against Baglan B, after their last game on 12th December. It also
showed
in the way both teams played for the first quarter, as neither team really got
going.
Eventually Lido got the goal they needed to settle them down.
It was
closely followed by a second to leave the Colts 2 - 0 up at half time. The
second half proved a more comfortable affair with Baglan being limited to
breakaways rather than sustained pressure. A further 2 goals mid way
through
the 2nd half closed the game out and the Colts ran out comfortable 4-0
winners.
Another break as their
scheduled opponents this week, Cynffig, are in the Tesco Cup competition. Good
luck to them and now we look forward to meeting Porthcawl White on the 6th Feb,
the first time we have played them this season.

Afan Lido Under 14 Colts win one and lose
one (Dec 9) 17:30 |
|
2 Games played
recently, the first on Nov 28th against the
older Porthcawl
Orange, one of a few
games to survive the bad weather.
We went 3 goals
behind through some very sloppy defending in
the first half before pulling one back just
before half time. This signaled a turnaround
in the game which saw the younger Colts play
the better football in the 2nd half. They
Colts scored a further 2 goals and only 2
quick breakaway goals by Porthcawl took the
game away from them. Excellent
performance again against older opposition.
5th Dec saw the Colts
play Goytre Utd.
After a poor first
half they found themselves only a couple of
goals up even though they dominated most of
the play. A much improved 2nd half saw
them pull away recording an 8 nil win in the
end.

Afan Lido Colts 0-7 Port Talbot Blue
After a 3 week break our next game was
against the older Port Talbot side. Even
though we lost by this margin it in no way
reflects how well the boys played, the Port
Talbot manager admitted we were the best
under 13 side they had played so far this
season. Excellent performance against older
boys again

Afan Lido Rangers
5-0 Porthcawl Athletic Orange |
|
Lido
started strongly with some of the best
passing this season. Our first goal
came from a superb
pass from Luke Keogh, paving the way for Sam
Tucker to put an inch perfect cross for
Calvin Wellington to slot in the back of the
net.
It
wasn't long before Calvin pulled the trigger
again to make it two goals up. Lido's third
goal came from some lovely quick passing with
Jordan Harris
finishing
it off.
Porthcawl started the
second half well putting pressure on the Lido
defence resulting in a shot being punched off
the goal line by our stand in goal keeper
Conor O Callaghan.
Lido then stepped it up a
gear with Joshua Evans and Jordan Doyle
popping two more goals in the back of the net
to finish five goals to nil.
This was Lido Rangers
best performance this season, well done boys.
Goal Scorers: Calvin
Wellington 2, Joshua Evans 1, Jordan Harris 1,

Port
Talbot Town 0-3 Afan Lido Rangers
|

This
was going to be a close affair with the top
two sides coming head to head. At first both
sides were finding it hard to break through
the opposing defences. But Lido managed to
come the closest to opening the scoring but
poor finishing let them down. So the half
ended with no score. Afan Lido started the
second half much stronger with some fine
inter passing between Jordan Harris and
Calvin Wellington resulting in a cool finish
by Wellington in the bottom corner. It
wasn't long before lido was two up with some
fine football from the backs which saw
Harris finding Wellington who finished with
great composure. Port Talbot was still not
out of the game but for some solid defending
by Calum Beynon and Connor Prosser and also
some superb saves by Jack Dacey, our stand
in keeper. Lido finished strongly with a a
great solo effort from our midfield terrier
Jordan Doyle which finally sealed the game 3
- 0 to maintain our position at the top of
the League. An excellent result, well done
boys.
Players

Afan
Lido Colts 1-2 Baglan A
|
After
a miserable performance against Cynffig the
week before the lads had another difficult
game against the older Baglan team. They
started well and put Baglan under pressure
whilst coping well with whatever Baglan
threw at them. Baglan took the lead through
some poor defending by Lido. The older boys
made it 2-0 just before half time when Lido
failed to deal with a corner. The 2nd half
started much in the same way as the first
but with a more determined approach the Lido
team started to gain the upper hand but
could not put away several chances.
Eventually they scored with 5 minutes
remaining but could not force home an
equaliser Baglan running out 2-1 winners.
The Baglan coach praised the young Lido team
admitting they didn't deserve to lose.

Cynffig
5-0 Afan Lido Colts (Cup)
|
Afan
Lido Colts. After playing some of our best
football, since moving to full size, against
the Afan Lido Rangers in mid week
expectations were high but we saved our
worst performance since moving to full size
for Saturday. Cynffig fully deserved their
win playing the better football and taking
their chances well. We had several chances
of getting on the score sheet especially in
the first half but were unable to convert
them into goals. All in all a fair result
and good luck to Cynffig in the next round.

attractive football. Our first goal was a
team effort coming from some excellent short
sharp passing, finished off by Jordan
Harris. After that the younger Port Talbot
side, who were really trying hard, couldn't
cope with the strength of the Lido team and
the final result was 9 nil. The Lido scorers
were:- Jordan Harris 2, Jordan Doyle 2,

Our
under 14's rangers were on fine form

managed to play some good football. Within the first
five minutes we were two goals up after also having
a goal disallowed in the first minute. By half time
we were five goals up and cruising.
The final score was
11 - 0 to Afan Lido. After the game the referee
