U12's Match Report - Llantwit Fardre v Treforest

Llantwit Fardre 0 - Treforest 2

Despite extremely difficult conditions, Treforest dominated this game fromstart to finish and were only denied a goal rout by puddles, mud and somefine goal keeping.With the ever dependable Treforest defence squeezing up the field, and captain, Jack Elley leading the forward line, the midfield battle which was rumoured to ensue never really got further than a brief tussle.

With the ball beingspread to both wingers on every possible opportunity, fine performances from Luke Clarke and Rhys Boulderson ensured Llantwit's fullbacks were alwayson the back foot. Treforest's Callum Holden found himself on the wrong side of a yellow card late in the first half, following a lunging tackle, but soon after set inmotion a blistering attack which saw Tom Haggett drive home Treforests firstjust before the whistle.

After the break Treforest pushed forward again and went close on a number of occassions. With the midfield and attackers being driven forward by surging runs from center-halves Ben Rousell and Luke Rees, the game was put beyond doubt with 12 minutes left, when midfielder Connor Young drove a shot at goal which took a wicked deflection past the helpless keeper to secure a superb 2-0 win.

With a cup semi-final and a tilt at the championship to come, Treforest enjoy a 3 week break before the next battle begins.
