SWYD 4-2 FC United of Yate

Yesterday SWYD faced the leaders of the top division in the GFA Cup Quarter-Final at our home ground, Scott Park, Patchway.

On paper it looked as if SWYD stood little chance of coming away with a result. But we rose to the challenge and two very early goals from Ben Sayers and Matt Webley gave us a surprise 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes. Both goals were assisted by our full backs Jack Sayers and Tom Hemmings with low driven crosses which found our attackers who both tapped the ball into the net.

About 25 minutes in, Ben Sayers then decided he would turn into a prime Paul Scholes and hit an absolute rocket from 30 yards out which struck the underside of the crossbar before crossing the line. 3-0.

Jack Chatfield also got in on the act with a minute of the first half to go. Chatfield was slipped in by Ben Sayers and made no mistake with the finish, placing it past the Yate keeper to make it 4-0.

The game changed in the second half, SWYD sat back and invited pressure from Yate who scored two early goals. However SWYD stayed defensively resilient and were able to hold off waves of pressure from Yate, coming away 4-2 winners.

MOTM - Josh Palmer, who played a vital role in limiting the amount of chances Yate had.
Donkey - Jack Sayers, for a terrible foul throw.

Onto the semi-finals. SWYD are massive. 💚🖤

We would also like the thank SENTIENT ELECTRICAL SERVICES for sponsoring us with our new kit.

SWYD 5-1 Kingswood
President's Cup Semi Final

With SWYD coming into the game as the highest ranked team left in the competition it was always going to be a potential banana skin for us against a very good Kingswood side, who had only recently knocked out Premier Division high flyers, Redbridge, in the previous round.

Luckily Joe Hedger's pre match pep talk of taking the game early to Kingswood and not letting them have any time on the ball worked superbly. SWYD dominated the early stages of the game with wave after wave of attack. Eventually a perfect ball from midfielder Pete Wright found Chris Dawson in acres of space over the top as he slotted home early to give SWYD a 1-0 lead. It was soon 2-0 as MoTM Aaron came up from CB to rise and head a Jake Bevan corner into the top right. With minutes to play SWYD were awarded a penalty after Robbie was brought down by the keeper in the area. Up stepped the captain to take the penalty, who hasn't missed since 2011 from the spot. Unfortunately history would repeat itself as Matt Long's well struck penalty was parried by the keeper and the rebound had too much on it for him to finish. Tom Bradley luckily was on hand to save SWYD a fight back from the opposition with a terrific save before HT. SWYD went in 2-0 up.

In the 2nd half SWYD were dealt a blow with the departure of Jack Newman who'd looked very assured up until that point in CDM but the arrival of Si West would give SWYD more attacking threat. It wasn't long until Si emphatically finished a one on one into the top right corner to make it 3-0. Kingswood began to rally back creating a few openings and were soon rewarded with a speculative long range effort deflecting off the leg of Matt Long to finally beat Bradderz in goal. 3-1. SWYD fought back though and got another decisive goal through Tom Allen who found time on the edge to tuck a deflected shot past the helpless Kingswood keeper. 4-1. With SWYD now as good as through to the final it was left to super sub Si West to convert some good work down the right by Robbie. As the ball came into the area Si feinted left with his back to goal before smashing the ball into the top corner. 👏🏻 5-1 SWYD and the lads were booking their place in the final for the 2nd time in 3 years.

We now play Longreach in the Final at Manor Farm on Sunday 28th April 11am KO.

💚 🖤
