In truth although the game had a high number of goals in,the state of the pitch didn't allow for much football to be played as this probably suited the home team more than the visitors however it was Croesy who got off to a perfect start when they went in front after just thirty-eight seconds,John Bailey kicked the ball upfield and Zac Osbourne,who lead the line very well for someone so young,laid the ball off first time to Josh Higgins who in turn crossed for Ricky Coffe who scored past home keeper Jon Howe at the second attempt.Taffs Well were level on seventeen minutes Brian Burke played the ball into the area and although Bailey saved Stephen Edwards' intial shot the home player slotted the ball home just before the ball went out of play.Taffs Well will probably feel they should of been in front just six minutes later,Sean Allen was allowed to continue despite looking clearly offside and his shot was parried by Bailey but as the ball fell to Michael Nesbett the home striker somehow blasted high and over the bar from eight yards out.Taffs Well then should of been reduced to ten men,Croesy's Coffe attempted to pass to Higgins on the left who would have had a free run on goal but Padraig Burke delibrating handle the ball but the referee for some reason thought a yellow card would be sufficent.
Croesy got off to a nightmare start at the beginning of the second half,following a breakaway from home keeper Howe,Jamal Roberts fed Simon Olyer whose shot hit the post but the ball fell straight to Kevin Crock who put the home side in front.Croesy then tourned the game on its head with two goals in four minutes,firstly Jamie Jenkins free kick seemed to be curling in at the far post and defender Steven Arthur handled on the line and the referee had no option but to send him off,Mike Dewar stepped up to send the ball into the back of the net but as he shouted "yes get in there" the ref took offence to this and sent the Croesy player off.Zac Osbourne then put Croesy in front outpacing a home defender after a quick free kick had released the youngster who netted his first senior goal.Croesy's hope off all three points was ended five minutes from time,a clear shove on Jenkins wasn't given and Crock saw his shot somehow go over Bailey and as the ball trickled goalwards Coffe couldn't get back in time and Roberts scored to bring the sides level.
Although Croesy will see this as two points dropped the teams below them all suffered defeat so a extra point gives them a five point cushion from the third placed bottom team.report by Croesyfan
