10th January 2015 – Welsh National League (Wrexham Area) Premier Division
After a Christmas and New Year period where surprisingly I managed to
watch the grand total of ZERO games either through postponed games or illness
(and legitimate illness and not Christmas hangovers if that’s what you’re
thinking), I was chomping at the bit to attend my first game of 2015 to make up
for a lack of games during the festive period. After questioning which game to
travel to on Twitter, a tweet came back from my mate Nick Owen (@NickOwen1) asking if I
fancied watching his side Penyffordd play at the weekend, especially as he had
now been brought back into the first team fold. Together with an encouragement
from the Penyffordd Twitter account as well (@penyfforddfc), the decision was made – a trip to
Penyffordd it was!
As you have read in previous blogs, this would not be the first time I
have seen Penyffordd play this season as a few weeks prior to Christmas I had
seen their Welsh National League match against Ruthin Town. That day they had
been decimated by the home side as their defence was as watertight as a
bottomless bucket, leading to a rampant Ruthin to dispatched them by the crazy
scoreline of 9-4. Clearly I had caught Peny on “one of those days” and the
performance did not give the true reflection of how decent the team was
considering they were second in the league at the time. So I was interested to
see how they fared on their home ground and if they had improved defensively
since the first time I had seen them.
