It's obvious that the windy conditions will affect this match: a fierce easterly is blowing end to end and Sully have it at their backs first. Long balls run too far; balls in the air swirl. Sully have the ability to run at defences, and threaten to make the breakthrough on various occasions, but Pontlottyn hold firm. They manage a few attacks of their own, including a dangerous free-kick on the edge of the Sully area, but seem content to frustrate the home side. Half time arrives with no score, and the match still quite subdued.
Sully have clearly decided to respect the wind in the second half - they are not kicking long into the wind but trying to pass from deep. This slows their progress and means Pontlottyn can attack a little more, although still there's little urgency. There is plenty of tension though, maybe this affecting the players as much as the conditions.
A 0-0 draw begins to look like the probable outcome, and this would be fine for the visitors. Sully need to get a goal, and need to get men forward, but maybe fear of conceding prevents all-out attack. Suddenly, with around 20 minutes left, their task becomes even harder, as Pontlottyn attack down the left, the ball is taken to the goal-line and pulled back: at the far post, a blue shirted player meets it and forces it over the line. Pontlottyn's bench goes wild.
Sully do their best to get on terms, and have a fair amount of possession in the visitors' half. But Pontlottyn are never pushed towards panic, and are able to relieve the pressure at times and take the ball to corners. Time ticks away, and the score stays 0-1. This hasn't completely decided the league title - Penydarren are still top, but Sully can't finish above third after this defeat. Pontlottyn are not champions yet, they still need two points from their last two matches to overtake Penydarren, but it's unthinkable that they won't accomplish that.
