An incredible finish from a Glan Yr Afon striker has left Bishop Childs needing favours if they are to catch league leaders Oakfield. 

 

Bishop Childs started very quickly and stamped their authority on the game. Midfielder Aymen finished two goals beautifully to put the away team firmly in control. Galn Yr Afon passed the ball very well and caused the Bishop Childs' defence a lot of problems. Just before half time the home team pulled a goal back. A fair half time score.

 

The second half started with more impressive passing from the home side while opportunities to score were squandered by both teams. But midway through the second half the Glan Yr Afon number 7 hit a wonder strike that hit both cross bar and post. It was judged to have crossed the line. 

 

The 2-2 draw leaves Bishop Childs' with a mountain to climb if they are to win the league. A victory against Oakfield this week however would put a lot of pressure on the leaders and swing momentum back in favour of Bishop.

A dominant display from Bishop Childs against Meadowlane kept pressure on league leaders Oakfield in an exciting end of season run-in. The final score of 4-1 did not flatter the away team who looked fit, sharp and hungry from the first whistle.

 

Midfielder Aymen opened the scoring with a powerful header from Finley's excellent cross. Bishop Childs continued to dominate and it wasn't long before Corey was scoring his first of three goals. Luca had his best game of the season with a number of aggressive runs through the centre of midfield whilst man of the match Tom again bossed the defence with partner in crime Elliot.  Meadowlane did pull a goal back from the penalty spot to give the home side hope going into the half time break however the score line masked a very one sided opening half.

 

Bishop continued their dominance after the half time whistle with the addition of two new caps, Ollie and Santino. Both made strong runs and their accurate passing led to further goals from hit-man Corey who is surely now confirming his status as one of the leagues most prolific strikers. Recognition must also be given to team captain Fin who, at times, is unplayable and caused Meadowlane huge problems all afternoon.

 

This was a performance to give leaders Oakfield something to think about and all eyes will be on next week's game between the two local rivals.

On a beautiful but cold early Summers afternoon Bishop Child's kicked off their first home game on their new pitch. The opponents were a well organised Oakfield team but once again there was a familiar outcome to the match.

 

The first half was a demonstration of how far Bishop Child's passing game has come. Great movement from Aymen, Finley, Luca and Corey set up a gaggle of chances with much of the first half spent camped in and around the Willowbrook penalty area. The cross bar and an outstanding goalkeeping performance allowed the score to stay at 0-0. Some heavy challenges from Luca rocked the Willowbrook attack as they resorted to playing very deeply to stop the constant attacking flow. 

 

Moments before half time Corey found himself in some space and fired a stinging shot towards goal that was exceptionally kept out by the diving goalie only for the ever-sharp striker to slot in the rebound. Willowbrook's first attack came in the dying seconds of the first half with the previously redundant Cameron producing a good save to keep the score at 1-0.

 

The second half started with a similar attacking theme though Willowbrook had clearly upped their game. Defenders Tom and Elliot were far busier and captain Finley spent much of the second half tracking back. Corey and Aymen had futher chances to score with the post and goalie once again stopping the score from increasing. 

 

The game ended with a 1-0 win for the home team and as the title challenge continues, home support will become vital.

 

Everyone is welcome to come to watch the games and provide as much support as possible.

After a lackluster first half of post-holiday football, Bishop Childs edged home a classic local encounter 5-4 against an ever improving Rumney side.

 

Both teams had enjoyed a mid-season Easter break and in the Spring sunshine started the match like they were still on holiday! A scrappy first half saw some poor passing, goal keeping errors and dead ball action. The one spark being an absolute screamer of a goal from striker Corey. It's not often he misses the target and he left the Rumney goal keeper with no chance , finding the top corner. It was 2-2 at the break and a timely reminder for both teams that they were in a game of football.

 

The second half started far more brightly, and Rumney showed the quality that they had. Some slick passing and very neat finishing allowed them to race into a 4-2 lead and with 5 minutes to go they looked comfortable. It was at this point Bishop Childs began playing. Once again with captain Finley leading and the usual aggressive cameos from Aymen and Luca, the game was secured with some outstanding finishing - including a goal kick finish from Finley and rugged defending.

 

Bishop Childs' winning streak continues with all eyes now very firmly focused on an end of season title challenge.

Bishop Childs reached the quarter final of this years Bryn Hafod Cup in what was yet another excellent display by the team.

 

 

The day was summed up by a gutsy performance by captain Fin as he led the way with an injury to his right knee. Few teams will want to face him again, especially when both his legs are working!

 

The tournament begun with a rather flat 0-0 draw against Coryton. Both teams struggled to acclimatise to the small pitch and goals and despite some strong running from Fin and Aymen, few chances were created. 

The second game against a strong St Phillip Evans side was far more open and thanks to an inspired display from Tom in defence, Bishop Child's safely completed their first victory. But this came at a cost. Injuries to Finley and a rejuvenated Cameron meant that the final game against the current Cathederal School champions, Rhiwbina, would be tough. Bishop had not read the script! At half time they led 1-0 thanks to a trademark Aymen goal and some great defending again by Tom. The second half was an onslaught from a very strong Rhiwbina side and despite some great defending, they raced to a 2 - 1 lead. Two more sloppy goals were conceded to give the North Cardiff team a far too respectable 4-1 victory. this meant a tough quarter final match against a very strong Coed Y Gof team. The Fairwater team were unbeaten and unchallenged- until now. Thanks to some heroic defence by Fin, Tom and Ethan, the game entered injury time at 0-0 with the opposition really nervous. But a mistake in defence allowed them to win a penalty and cruelly end Bishop Child's tournament hopes. This was a magnificent display by the boys and once again proves why they are flying high in the Eastern League.
