Pwll were 10 seconds away from gaining a well deserved point at grovesend however a deflected shot which hit Adrian (Paddy) Gray under pressure from a Pengelli forward went passed GK Lofty who could not do a thing about the goal after he had a tremendous game in goal for Pwll. Pwll fielded thier strongest team that they could however due to lack of games,match fitness becomes a problem although this is the same for opposing sides in reserve divisions.

Sat 03/11/07 PWLL Reserves 1 Garden Village 4

Pwll totally outplayed Village in the 1st half & deserved the 1st goal scored by Tom Watkeys playing his 1st game after a few weeks of injury.The good news was that Watkeys lasted 90 mins,the bad news is that the whole team did not. A penalty was given for a silly push in the back for Village to equalise. Village went ahead when everybody stopped playing including GK Lofty & Centreback Paddy Gray when a cornerkick seemed to be well over the goalkick line before the striker headed home on the line in the centre of the goal. Heads dropped at this point & Village took the game with thier new found confidence.Pwll did have chances with a Watkeys diving header just missing after Paddy's cross & Mal Rees just clipped the post on a 30 yard drive.Ashley Davies is now getting stronger & played well & deserves to play with players who can push him up a level.

Sat 27/10/07 Hendy 4 PWLL 3

PWLL were pulled nearer the relegation zone by losing a match to last seasons promotion rivals Hendy who were NOT even at thier own best. If PWLL could stop allowing teams to score at least 3 goals against them in the 1st half,their league position would be at the top of the league. Blakey slotted passed the keeper after taking a chance on a Hendy error in defence to level at 1-1. PWLL then had to fight back from 3-1 down to 3-3 with goals from a Kev Evans deflected shot & an inspirational substitute appearance by Lee Burns who's volley from an acute angle made for a great equaliser. PWLL's undoing as they tried pushing for the win came in the last minute when Gav Evans gave a penalty away when a Hendy forward broke loose.

Sat 27/10/07 DARCH CUP 2nd Round PWLL Reserves 0 Dafen 4

John Taylors HT talk must have done something to gee up the team as when Christian Bonnell equalised early on heads were raised & he scored his 2nd goal,with in a minute,a beautiful header to put Pwll 3-2 up.From there on in Confidence was soaring & KRUF didn't stand a chance.

In all Christian Bonnell scored 4,Steve Phillips & Kev Evans 2 each & Blakey scored 1.KRUF did score a 3rd to make it 7-3however the 10th goal seemed to be a phantom goal as it appeared on refs offical score sheet. We will put that one down to a og.

 Sat 20/10/07 Reserve Div 1 Pontlliw 2 Pwll 0

Match report unavailable

Sat 13/10/07 Evans & Williams 4 PWLL 2

Gav Evans & Christian Bonnell playing unfamiliar roles upfront & centre midfield.

 The rest of the match was all PWLL keeping alot of possession & looking dangerous upfront.Steve Phillips scored before halftime with a deflected shot & very early 2nd period scored his 2nd with a powerful header from Lee Burns corner. Special mention for Lofty who had not expected to play in the 1st team made a couple of superb saves at the start of game & at the very end on a 1-1 with the striker.

Camford scored in the 44th minute to make life hard for PWLL in 2nd period. PWLL played open attacking football when Lee scored the equaliser straight from a corner kick,the goalie could only palm the ball into the net.
