DOWLAIS LADIES H C SECURE PROMOTION.
DOWLAIS LADIES H C SECURED THEIR PLACE IN THE TOP DEVISION IN WALES BY DRAWING 1-1 WITH CWMBRAN.
THE LOCAL TEAM MANAGED TO FIELD A DETERMINED SQUAD EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD SOME SET BACKS FROM HOLIDAYS AND INJURIES AND WENT OUT ON THEIR CHALLENGE FOR PROMOTION.
THE NERVOUS DOWLAIS SIDE CONTINUOUSLY PRESSURISED THE DEFENSE FROM THE START, BUT THE CWMBRAN KEEPER MADE SEVERAL STERLING SAVES TO KEEP HER TEAM IN THE GAME. CWMBRAN THEN BROKE AWAY FROM A DOWLAIS ATTACK AND DESPITE GREAT DEFENSIVE WORK BY LAURA GANESH, GAIL MORGAN AND AIMIE PROTHEROE, MANAGED TO SLIP A SLOPPY GOAL PAST DOWLAIS KEEPER WENDY DALE, BUT THIS WAS NOT TO FAZE THE TRAILING TEAM AND DOWLAIS CONTINUED TO PRESS HARD FOR THE EQUALISER THROUGH TRUDY DINHAM AND LAUREN JENNINGS.
A RATTLED CWMBRAN SIDE STARTED TO FEEL THE PREASURE WHEN THEIR CENTRAL PIVOT PLAYER WAS YELLOW CARDED AND THEREFORE SENT TO THE BENCH FOR DELIBERATLEY BREAKING DOWN PLAY LEAVING HER TEAM WITH JUST 10 PLAYERS.
DOWLAIS KNEW THEY HAD TO CAPITALISE ON THIS AND FORCED THE ATTACK WHEN CAPTAIN JANINE THOMAS CLEVERLY SLIPPED A SHORT CORNER ROUTINE TO SUZANNE JONES WHO NETTED THE BALL PAST THE DEPLEATED CWMBRAN KEEPER.
SPURRED ON BY THIS DOWLAIS PRESSED HARD FOR A SECOND, BUT DESPITE EFFORTS FROM CARYN PARKER , KIRSTY LINK AND MARY OWEN A DRAW WAS ALL THEY COULD MANAGE BUT THIS IS ENOUGH TO SECURE THEIR PLACE IN NEXT SEASONS PREMIERSHIP 1 DEVISION A FIRST FOR DOWLAIS IN THEIR 30 YEAR HISTORY.
DOWLAIS WOULD LIKE TO THANK COMMUNITIES FIRST AND MERTHYR TYDFIL COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL FOR THEIR SPONSORSHIP SUPPORT WHICH WILL HELP THE SQUAD IN THEIR PROMOTION NEXT SEASON. DOWLAIS ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR NEW PLAYERS OF ALL AGES AND EXPERIENCES WELCOME CONTACT MARCUS ON 07984170122 OR E-MAIL mp36458@hotmail.co.uk.
