Whitchurch Blues F.C
Football, It's the beautiful game.
Unbeaten Run Comes To An End
The Blues unbeaten run which started on 19 September came to an end Saturday where The Blues went down 3-5 at the feet of St Josephs.
The run started after The Blues had a poor start to the campaign winning only a single point in their first four games despite playing well, by the middle of September The Blues luck started to change.
A 1-1 draw versus Clwb Cymric after losing 'Keeper Stephen Jones and left back Richard Price in the first half was the start, the following week a 4-5 thriller finally got The Blues their first win of the season, Gwaelod-Y-Garth were the next victims in another close game which ended 3-2 in The Blues favor. Llanrumney Utd 2nds followed with a comfortable 5-0 victory after Llanrumney lost a defender to a dislocated shoulder, back to the league and The Blues picked up where they left off and strolled to an 11-4 win at home to a struggling Cardiff Bay Harlequins team in a game which saw striker Michael Jones make a scoring comback with a second half hat-trick , the toughest game of the run came away to Glyncoed Corries where for much of the game The Blues were defending, although Corries had much of the ball they failed to trouble Blues 'Keeper Jones, Blues broke the deadlock with some nice route one football finished off by winger Stuart Patten and wrapped the game up on 80 minutes with a superb headed goal from skipper Hywel Lewis.
