Dynamos v Maidenhead

Dynamos 1 – Maidenhead 1

Dynamos went into this game unbeaten in the league, but also without a win for 3 games so a good result was required.

After comfortably winning earlier this season Dynamos were perhaps expecting an easy ride, it proved to be completely opposite and Dynamos were again cursed by a poor start to the game.

In almost a replica of last week Dynamos looked half asleep as Maidenhead attacked right from kick off, a shot on goal was quickly followed by a goal for Maidenhead, the midfield and defence of Dynamos bypassed with ease. - Dynamos 0 Maidenhead 1.

For the rest of the first half it was end to end stuff, both teams having chances to add to the scoring. Jay, Ru and Harrison had several chances each to get the equalizer. At the other end Jordan was making several crucial saves which deservedly won him man of the match.

The first half ended frustratingly for Dynamos who couldn’t quite get the ball in the net for the equalizer. Some simple mistakes by Dynamos made the game a lot more difficult for them than it should’. The first half ended. Dynamos 0 – Maidenhead 1

The second half began much more brightly for Dynamos. They started to dominate possession and Charlie and Jay came close before a bit of trickery from Felix allowed him a cool finish to bring a deserved equalizer. – Dynamos 1 – Maidenhead 1.

Dynamos got into their stride from this point and look more determined as they pushed on for the win Maidenhead just pushed literally! Although they seemed to be allowed to get away with it.

The last few minutes were tense and both teams had chances to get the winner, a couple of fine saves by Jordan and some crucial interceptions from Travis, Hayden and Thomas kept Maidenhead at bay whilst at the other end Jay and Ru both had a couple of chances to win it for Dynamos.

The game ended 1 – 1. Dynamos need to learn to start quicker so they can get back to winning ways but still they remain unbeaten and top of the league, well done boys!

Dynamos v Whitchurch

Dynamos 3 – Whitchurch 3

After missing last week’s match due to a waterlogged pitch, this was Dynamos first chance to put the Cup defeat behind them and concentrate on the league and keeping their place on top of the table.

This was always going to be a tough game against a Whitchurch side looking for revenge for their previous defeat against Dynamos earlier in the season and it certainly was a tough game for Dynamos!

Whitchurch started the game at a rapid pace, the Dynamos midfield and defence bypassed and their first attack led to the first goal of the game – Dynamos 0 Whitchurch 1.

The shock of conceding the first goal so quickly seemed to freeze Dynamos who went under the cosh for a couple of minutes before Whitchurch added a second – Dynamos 0 Whitchurch 2.

Only after the second goal did Dynamos wake up and start playing the passing and attacking play that has been their trademark this season. Near misses by Harrison and Ru were followed by a cracking shot by Harrison that rattled the crossbar; this seemed to spark the Confidence within Dynamos, the next attack seeing them grab their first goal, a good finish by Ru after a well worked build up. – Dynamos 1 Whitchurch 2.

The final couple of minutes of the first half were even with both teams having chances to add to the score. Good defensive work by Dynamos and saves by the keeper kept whitchurch out while Felix and Jay had near misses for Dynamos. Half time - Dynamos 1 Whitchurch 2.

After a well needed pep talk, by the Coach and Manager, Dynamos started the second half on the front foot. Early chances by Charlie and Jay were followed up by a deserved equalizer with a well taken goal by Charlie. – Dynamos 2 – Whitchurch 2.

Whitchurch were not finished yet though and on a rare break they reclaimed the lead again. – Dynamos 2 – Whitchurch 3.

Following a fine save by Jordan Dynamos stepped up the pressure again, inspired by man of the match performance by Felix and an organized and determined defence Dynamos started to dominate the game. Ru and Charlie went close to scoring before Harrison got the equalizer with a smart finish. – Dynamos 3 – Whitchurch 3.

With the scores level the last five minutes were very tense for both the players and those watching on the touchline. Dynamos created lots of chances with Charlie, Felix and Jay coming close to getting the winning goal. On the break Whitchurch looked dangerous but they were kept at bay by a hard working and determined Dynamos defence. The referees whistle then ended a very enjoyable game.

Dynamos should feel proud at coming back from such a disastrous start. Well played Dynamos still unbeaten in the league!
