Match report – October 27 v Penrhos (A)

The first snow of the winter had covered the mountains and it was cold (especially for the coach standing on the side of the pitch). It was a repeat of the previous week with both teams equal. A single goal to Penrhos separated the sides in the 1st period before Penrhos scored 4 times. In this period Llyr and Josh hit the post with Jack also close to scoring. In the final quarter Bethel again hit the post but the deserved goal did not come.
Keep at it lads, next time we will get our just rewards by scoring the 1st goal.

Match report – October 20 v Maes y Bryn (A)

It was a close game at Maesgeirchen this morning although this wasn’t reflected in the scoreline. Both sides had an equal amount of chances and an equal amount of shots on target but while Maes y Bryns seemed to go in, Bethel’s did the reverse. Bethel responded in the final quarter and deserved their two goals from Iestyn. Sion was man of the match defending resolutely on the left and instigating our attacks. The game finished 7-2 to Maes y Bryn, but they were clearly unhappy with conceding as their post match handshakes weren’t enthusiastic. We look forward to welcoming them to Bethel after Christmas.

Match report – October 13 v Cae Glyn (H)

A scoreless game today against Cae Glyn ….. we can honestly say that today’s winder was storm Callum!!

Match report – October 6 v Llanrug (A)

The first game of October was a local derby against Llanrug. The poor mid week weather had been replaced by a nice Saturday morning. Unfortunately a player shortage mean we only had 7 and therefore had to play without any subs and everyone had to work hard. Once again one of our former players lined up against us but we started strongly with a quick attacking threat and it was Bethel who went ahead when Gruff scored after a number of chances for Bethel. The Llanrug keeper often kept them in the game but the goals came regularly and Bethel ran out 7-2 winner with Josh contributing a hat-trick. Well done!!

Match report – September 29 v Nantlle Vale (H)

The first official game of the season was organised against one of the strongest sides in the league in their age. Nantlle Vale also had two former Bethel players amongst their ranks. Bethel started full of energy and deservedly went ahead. Although Nantlle Vale pressed they didn’t threaten Bethe’s goal with Nia marshalling the defence. Through regular changes to give everyone fair game time Nantlle Vale got on top and scored three times. Bethel then got a grip on the game and after Llŷr had hit the post, Bethel deservedly scored twice with a thunderous free-kick from Iestyn brining the scores level at 3-3 at full time.

Match report – September 22 v Penrhos (A)

It was the same result this week with Penrhos being unable to fulfil the fixture. A hastly arrange friendly was held away at Llanfairfechan so we could apply the training ground sessions. From the first whistle the team played effectively and quickly learnt each other’s strengths. Bethel won the game scoring a number of goals and conceding just the one. Well done!

Match report - September 15 v Talysarn (H)

Unfortunately, we were unable to play what should have been the first game of the season. Carry on with training!
The new season
It has been a difficult start of the season with Bethel losing one player to another team (the transfer window once again responsible!) and other deciding not to continue. Fortunately, following consultation with Felinheli football club, it was decided to merge the two teams to provide an opportunity for everyone. A big welcome therefore to Jona, Josh, Sion and Sam to Bethel!!

Bethel A 2 – Bethel B 1

Scorers: Celt, Adam

A very competitive game and one must praise the play and attritude of both sides. It was Bethel A who went ahead with Celt scoring after only 5 minutes, but although pressing could not find a second goal before half time.

Bethel B levelled the scores at the start of the second half and thereafter the game was even and was won by a magnificent goal from almost half way by Adam. Although a year younger, Bethel B play some great football and can consider themselves unlucky not to gain a point.

The players player of the game was Adam with Siôn Lloyd getting the award from the coaches.

Segontiwm 2 – Bethel A 6

Scorers: Celt 4, Llion, Ioan

Bethel made the trip to Caernarfon to play Segontiwm this morning. Bethel started strongly with both Llion and Cynan doing well on the wings and went deservedly ahead through Celt and went further ahead through another Celt goal. Segontiwm responded through a great free kick and it ended 2-1 to Bethel at half time.

Bethel started the second half strongly with Llion scoring but back came Segontiwm. Bethel then dominated the remainder of the game with Celt secuing his hat-trick, Ioan scoring a great free kick before Celt got his 4th with his back.

A great peformance with a number of stand out performances. Calan was chosen as the players player of the game and Celt getting the nod from the coaches. Well done boys!

Llanberis 2 – Bethel A 4

Scorers: Celt 2, Cynan, Llion

Bethel only had a small squad today due to illness and unavailability. It was a good first half with an early goal from Celt following a corner, followed by further goals by Cynan before Celt scored his second. The second half was more worrying with Llanberis scoring twice with Llion scoring his first goal for Bethel between them and it finished 4-2. The players nomination for man of the match was Adam and the Harri was choose by the coaches.

Gwyrfai Llyn Cup
Cae Glyn B 5 – Bethel 3 (After extra time)

Scorers: Cynan, Celt, Arwyn

Bethel started slowly and fell 2 goals behind early in the match. Bethel improved as the match progressed and were somewhat unlukcy to reach half time still 2-0 behind. Bethel started the second half strongly and pulled a goal back after a good strike from Cynan and got level when Celt latched onto a long ball from Iolo. With extra time looming Cae Glyn scored what they thought was the winner, but from the final corner Arwyn headed the leveller. Unfortunately, extra time proved too much and the game finished 5-3.

Man of the match from the players was Arwyn with Celt getting the managers nod.

North Wales Coast FA Cup
Pentre B 0 – Bethel 6

Scorers: Celt 2, Harri 2, Sion Evans, Ioan

Bethel made the trip to Abergle this morning to face Pentre ‘B’ on Emrys ap Iwan school’s playing fields. It was a much improved performance with Bethel gradually getting a grip on the game. The first goal came when Ioan was fouled in the box with Celt making no mistake from the penalty spot. There were further goals for Harri and Sion before half time. HT 3-0.

The second half wasn’t quite as comfortable but nevertheless further goals were socred by Harri, Celt and Ioan. Sion Evans was chose as the player of the match and Harri from the coaches.

Many thanks to Pentre for the welcome.

Cae Glyn A 10 – Bethel A 1

Scorer: Harri

Bethel were playing their first game of the season with a number of new players who were unfamiliar with each other. Despite losing heavily there were plenty of positives with Harri scoring Bethel’s only goal and receiving the man of the match award for Bethel.
