MATCH REPORT
Neath 2–2 Gwendda

Gwendda secured a hard-fought and thoroughly deserved 2–2 draw against a strong Neath side in an entertaining and dramatic encounter.
The visitors faced disruption before the match had even begun, with a quarter of the team arriving at the wrong hockey pitch, resulting in a limited warm-up and only one substitute available. 🫣 Despite this, Gwendda started brightly, applying early pressure down both flanks and taking the game to their hosts.
Just before the end of the first quarter, Neath took the lead through a short-corner goal. However, the setback only served to galvanise Gwendda, who responded immediately. Jaf drove into space down the right-hand side, carried the ball into the D and delivered a perfectly weighted pass across goal for Carly, who calmly slotted home the equaliser.🙌
As the match progressed, Gwendda had to withstand sustained periods of Neath pressure. Rich produced a series of outstanding saves, displaying ninja-like agility in goal to keep the scores level and frustrate the home side.
Neath eventually found a way through again in the third quarter to restore their advantage. Gwendda continued to battle and created opportunities of their own but looked set to leave empty-handed as time ticked away.
With only seconds remaining, Gwendda were awarded a free hit just outside the Neath D. Loading the D with players, they worked the ball cleverly through a series of quick passes. The ball eventually fell to Carly, who smashed home her second goal of the match and Gwendda’s equaliser. 🔥
Moments later, the final whistle blew, sparking celebrations among the travelling side. Given the pre-match challenges and the quality of the opposition, this was a fantastic result and a testament to Gwendda’s resilience, determination and team spirit. 👏👏👏

This week Gwendda travelled away to Cardiff Met for their 3rd game of the summer league. 🏑 💪 our toughest challenge yet sent us home with a well fought 1-1 draw!

Match report:

An absolute battle under the lights at Cyncoed Campus! 💥 Cardiff Met brought a heavy, physical game early on with some crunching tackles, but Gwendda held strong to keep it scoreless at halftime.

The deadlock finally broke in the 3rd quarter with a moment of pure magic. Ross picked up the ball deep in his own 25, smashed through the Met midfield on a sensational solo run, and drove into the D before squaring it to Sebba, who timed it perfectly for a clinical tap-in! ☄️🏑

Met responded late on with a powerful, clinical strike to level things up, leaving both sides to share the points after a brilliant, high-octane game of hockey.

Huge shift from the squad to match Met’s physicality and walk away with a well-earned draw!
