Treforest-v- Cardiff Dracs.:Sat.24th Nov @07

Treforest 3 Cardiff Draconians 3

This match was played in horrendous conditions and was a tribute to both sides who somehow produced a six goal thriller and tried to play fast, entertaining football at all times.

Cardiff Dracs. started the brighter, with Tref. having to battle hard to get into the game. After the home side forced an excellent save from the Dracs keeper, Lewys Price in the home goal had to produce a superb save to keep the scores level. On 30 minutes Gary Bridson scored the opening goal for Tref, but minutes later the away team drew level after Smith could only parry the ball to the Dracs striker who calmly equalized just before lemon time.

With the weather deteriorating further the both sides were having difficulties, but after good work by Dean Jones, Lian Davies scored to take Tref. in front again. Back came the Dracs. and they drew level following a free kick on the edge of the box.

Shortly after the away team scored a very controversial third through Nippers who appeared to be at least 2 yards off side. However, the Referee unbelievably allowed the goal to stand and put the Cardiff side in front for the first time.

With time running out Treforest threw caution to the wind and introduced another striker for a defender. This move quickly paid dividends when veteran Stacey Fulker bundled the ball into the net for a share of the spoils.

This game was a tribute to both Clubs and was played in excellent spirit throughout despite the poor conditions.
