Splott Albion 1 - Treforest 1

SPLOTT ABION 1 - TREFOREST 1

In the Thunder Road Motorcycles 2nd division amateur league game Treforest travelled to Llanrumney playing fields to take on Splott Albion.

The game started badly for Treforest when after only 6 minutes a mix up at the back allowed Splott to take the lead with an overhead kick from 6 yards out.

For the next 20 minutes Treforest struggled to get a grip on the game however things started to click into place and some of their passing and movement was excellent.

On 25 minutes and excellent ball from left back Ed Daniels set Anthony Phelps free and he raced on and tied the game for Treforest with an excellent shot that give the Splott keeper no chance.

Treforest were now on top but a mixture of the tactics of the Splott side and the Referee constantly stopping the game flowing upset Tref's rhythm.

The second half went the same way as the first half with lots of niggling tackles by Splott until a very bad tackle by the Splott number 6 on Lee Bridson resulted in retaliation by the Tref player and he was shown a red card whilst the Splott player was not even spoken to. This left the Treforest contingent on the touchline shaking their heads in disbelief.

Treforest now with only 10 men still pushed for the victory but Splott were happy to sit back and try and hit Tref on the break whilst waste up as much time as possible.

Next up for Treforest is a trip to Abercwmboi on Sat 10th Feb.
