Carew 1st XI 1

Swansea Uni 1

Carew, playing host to Swansea students, soon found they were one up from a short corner strike by Mason, with Williams putting the rebound away.

With the midfield of Wheeler, Mason, Williams and Woods controlling the play for much of the half, the Rooks should have converted several of their chances, but with an in-form 'keeper the students kept them at bay.

Turning around 1-0 down at half-time, the students were fast out of the blocks in the second period and put Carew under pressure for the first part of the half, bringing out some fine saves from 'keeper Leigh Thomas, with the defence of Johnson, Ferguson, Moseley, Hall and Cole standing up well to the onslaught.

However, a chink in the Carew armoury saw the students' centre forward one-on-one with 'keeper Thomas to put them level at one apiece.

Carew rallied and had several chances to win the game, with Kendrick coming close after two solo runs, Williams flying down the wing and creating havoc in the final quarter and Mason attacking the visitors' circle on several occasions.

Numerous short corners were awarded, but Carew could not make the most of their possession and chances.

Team: L. Thomas, S. Kendrick (capt.), E. Williams, D. Woods, B. Wheeler, J. Mason, G. Cole, O. Johnson, A. Hall, D. Ferguson, S. Moseley, M. Bowles.

Umpires: D. Miller, J. Wheeler.

Jon Moore, Zac Cole and captain Matt Clements gelled well in the midfield, with youngsters Shane Lewis and Andrew Baker making some fine runs and chances further up the pitch.

The newly-formed 2nd XI played really well in all areas of the pitch, holding Cardiff to 3-3 up to half-time.

The second half saw the more experienced Cardiff team take control and despite some heroic defending, three fine goals were scored during the second half.
