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!
