Dinas Ladies 1 v 1 Cardiff Ladies

THE game was played at a good pace from start to finish but Dinas ladies showed why you should never give up.

Cardiff got off to a bright start moving the ball very well and out muscling the home side in the early encounters. With 15 minutes gone the visiting team got their reward as their striker finished very well.

Dinas slowly got back into the game and Tracey White looked the best option to draw the game level with a few chances as she moved into a more advanced role and Gillard bossing the middle with her strength. At the break the game was evenly balanced even though the home side were trailing.

The second half saw the Dinas Ladies stand up and be counted, and for long spells in the second half they threw everything at the Cardiff team. The home side did ride their luck for a 10 minute spell as Cardiff pushed hard and looked very lively on the break but Harold in goals was on fine form.

The wide players from Dinas were again on form beating their players at times with ease but failing to find the killer pass. Young Howells showed her talent to run with the ball time and time again.

But the “never say die” qualities shown today were key as L Lewis struck the post with five minutes remaining to fire a warning that this team has improved tenfold in the past few months.

As the game went into injury time and with the final pass of the game from S Ahmad found Lewis she coolly slotted home past the keeper to seal a point for the hard working Dinas Ladies.

Dinas have grown as a team and with new additions look more than capable of moving up the table as they never give up.
