Ollie & Zac Shine on Swansea City Debut
19 10 2008Ollie Gamble and Zac Rowell travalled to Pontardawe for their first match for Swansea City. Asked to play in unfamiliar positions, Ollie wide on the right, and Zac at Centre Half, both boys gave good accounts of themselves. However, when the coach switched Ollie’s position to striker, he flourished.
Nearing the end of the period, Ollie drifted in from the left and picked up the ball about 18 yards out, beat two defenders as he worked the ball out to the right, and then drilled his shot back across the face of the goal into the bottom left corner of the net. A quite superb finish.
Zac Rowell was soon to get his opportunity as well. After a man-of-the-match performance in defence, the coach allowed Zac to switch with the other striker. Before the end of the game, Zac had scored an incredible four goals! The best of which saw him pick up a long pass through the middle, drop his shoulder to send the defender the wrong way, slalom past the next, then slide the ball neatly past the goalkeeper.
The boys done good, as they say. Kilgetty can be proud.
