Wiz at the double in Saints win

July 24th, 2010

 

Josh Wisniewski.

The Saints claimed their first pre-season victory with a comprehensive 2-0 win against AFC Panteg at Forest Road. The hosts had to be patient, eventually breaking through the Panteg back-line in the final fifteen minutes when Josh Wisniewski expertly finished. Wisniewski added a second moments later before Panteg saw a late penalty kick well-saved by Ian Jones, to safeguard his clean-sheet.

The first-half lacked many decent chances at either end, although the away side should have done better when a long ball over the back-line wasn’t dealt with, and their striker’s attempted lob over the out rushing I. Jones fell wide of the mark. At the other end, a good move saw Wisniewski cross for Kevin Jones, who saw his placed left-foot volley well blocked. Wisniewski flashed a volley off-target before K. Jones’s powerful free-kick flew over the bar.

Phil Davies.

Soon after a soft penalty appeal was turned away for Panteg, Hay started to take control in the second-period with their attacking threat finding form. K. Jones smashed an effort against the post as the hosts searched for the opener. They were eventually awarded for their persistence when K. Jones nut-megged a defender and delivered a cross to the back-post to Wisniewski. The striker took one touch to bring the ball down before curling a brilliant right-foot shot around the ‘keeper. He soon added a second with an emphatic finish from inside the box after good work by sub Colan Badham. With the two goal lead intact, Hay really should have extended that lead but Tom Weaver somehow missed from little over three yards out with a free header, that bounced before clearing the cross-bar. In the closing moments, Chris Preece was penalised for handball, but Panteg couldn’t register a goal, as Ian Jones guessed the right way to palm the spot-kick away to safety.

Stu Davies and Gav Williams.

Hay took a while to get going in the game, but once they did they looked decent, with good energy in the middle of the park and both strikers looking dangerous up top. Man of the match though goes to Josh Davies, who gave nothing away at right-back today with an impressive display.

Hay: I. Jones, J. Davies, Preece, Havard, P. Davies, J. Atkinson, S. Davies, T. Weaver, G. Williams, K. Jones, J. Wisniewski. Subs: J. Howard, T. Wilkes, C. Badham, W. Goodwin.Hay 2-0 Panteg

Saints 0 Westfields 2.

July 16th, 2010

The Saints went down 0-2 to a strong Westfields side tonight in their first pre season friendly.

A goal just before half time and a break away in the 65th minute saw the visitors take the spoils.

Although The Saints had a lot of defending to do the visitors didn’t really have a lot of chances on goal due the homeside being so well organised. Stuart Davies won a lot tackles in the first period as did Preece and Havard at the back who time after time broke down Westfields attacks. Youngsters Jack Brereton and Steve Goodwin both had good games in the middle against very experienced and highly rated players.

Kevin Jones and Josh Wisniewki linked up well in the 20th minute with Jones seeing a snap shot saved by the visiting keeper. Just as The Saints thought they were going in at half time at 0-0 The Westfield number 9 latched onto a throughball and rounded keeper Ian Jones to put them 0-1 up at the break. Ht 0-1

The second period saw The Saints get on top early on, John Daw came on for Jones and played very well linking up with Wisniewski and Gavin Williams who was a shock starter after a long term injury, Mike Havard saw his long range free kick just go over the bar, up the other end Ian Jones tipped a 30 yarder over the bar. Westfields made it 0-2 after a quick counter attack with the ball finally being side footed into the net from a striker who  looked in an offside position .

With 15 to go Daw saw his header from a Williams corner come crashing back off the bar, Jones also went close with a 20 yard effort which beat the keeper but went inches wide of the post.

This was a good work out for the players against a very good side who play in a lot higher standard than us. The team looked very well organised on the night and  caused our visitors problems on times. The whole squad put a good shift in but if I have to pick one individual out that would be Chris Preece who didn’t put a foot wrong all night.

Sqaud- Ian Jones, Phil Davies, Chris Preece, Mike Havard, Josh Davies, Jake Atkinson, Steve Goodwin, Jack Brereton, Stuart Davies, Gavin Williams, Kevin Jones, Josh Wisniewski, Toby Johnson, Kevin Goodwin, Tom Wilkes, Johnny Daw, Will Goodwin.
