Match Report - 06.04.13 Pill 0 - Blaenavon Blues 0 Blues started this fixture against high flying Pill with teenagers Dylan Mason, Illtyd Caddick and Matthew Burns all in the side due to injuries. Blues started aggressively and from Craig Tanner’s cross, Caddick volleyed just over. On ten minutes Mike Waite put Mason clear but the youngster shot narrowly over. Waite again made an opening, this time for Tanner, who lobbed over the bar. 13.04.13 Best move of the half involving Jamie Brankley, Caddick and Burns saw Burns shoot wide of the post. At this point of the game Waite and Marc Browning were running the midfield and a surprise result looked a distinct possibility. With half time approaching Pill came into the game for the first time, their midfielder should have scored but fired aimlessly wide. In their 1 20 23 next attack their big central striker hit the bar and on the stroke of half time the same player was clean through on goal, Blues keeper Lee Jones making a brilliant save at the striker’s feet. The second half started with Jones again making a fine save from a Pill free kick, from the resulting corner Jones again came to his sides £1969 rescue, brilliantly finger tipping a goal bound header over the bar. With Pill pressing for the lead, Browning made a very important goal line clearance. Blues came back into the game and a great turn by Waite saw the Pill defence open up and his through ball put Mason in No Winner on goal, his shot looked destined for the back of the net until a Pill defender cleared off the line. With time running out Matt Cox thought he had broken the stalemate £2070 when he headed Tanner’s free kick towards the corner of the Pill net only to be denied by the keeper touching the ball onto the bar. Jake Bull was first to react to the rebound but his downward header was saved by the keeper. Clydach Wasps The final whistle went with Blues being the happier of the two sides, their back four were solid all game full backs Brankley and Grant Evans, along with centre backs Cox and Darren Harris dealt comfortably with 23.04.13 6.00pm the lively Pill front runners.
