Villa Dino u14 – 1

Rhino Blacks u14 – 9

Under the watchful eye of the towering Transporter Bridge, the Rhino Blacks continued their fight to stay at the top of the table against Villa Dino.

The Rhinos soon got into their stride and with less than five minutes on the clock Jack Williams slotted home from inside the box. Not long after a penalty was dispatched into the left hand corner by Leon Bugler.

The two early goals seemed to deflate an initially buoyant Villa Dino team, which the Rhinos took full advantage of.

They continually ripped through the midfield with neat one touch football from Ioan Davies-Hall, looking to push the ball out to the flying left winger Jojo Evans as much as possible.

Evans in turn supplied three assists in a row with his wand of a left boot. Firstly, for midfielder Joe Mayo to slam into the roof of the net, the second, for Mason Brice to tap in at the far post and the third, another simple tap in for Logan Williams.

Villa Dino did pull one back half way through the first-half with a well worked free-kick routine, but this did not hold back the Rhinos for long with L.Williams netting his second from just inside the box and Brice making the most of a beautiful Evans cross to score a seventh goal.

Jack Williams completed the first half rout, taking the ball around the keeper and slotting into an empty net, providing a seven goal platform at half time.

The second half continued in a similar vein to the first with J.Williams taking advantage of some slack defending to score from a great Ollie South assist.

At this point, due to league rules, any additional goals scored by the Rhinos in the second-half cannot be credited (which is definitely one of the more sensible league rules), but the game ended comfortably in Rhinos’ favour and definitely one of the easier afternoons for the defensive unit of Ellis Owens, Morgan Wait, Kai Stafford, Leon Bugler and GK Jack Preece.

The Rhinos now look forward to a very busy weekend, with Undy away in the Gwent Cup on Saturday, before entertaining a strong Monmouth outfit on Sunday, 12.30pm kick-off at Govilon’s King George V field.
