AVDFC 2-3 Flackwell Heath

Team: Archie Davis; Sam Austin, Linus Kusi, Dan McAteer, Dan Wilson; Alfi Touceda, Kevin Owusu, Charlie Jackson, Darnell Ramsay, Alfie Gaspar; Jake Baldwin

Phil Granville made a number of changes as he takes a look at the squad and starts to look for his starting XI for the FA Cup match on 1st September against Windsor.

In a blustery Greenfleets Stadium, it was Flackwell Heath who started the stronger, playing into the wind. The first good chance fell to the Flackwell No.10 who fired his shot over the bar. With just thirteen minutes on the clock the pressure told as Flackwell won a penalty as a ball over the top eluded the defence and the attacker was taken down. Penalty converted. 1-0 Flackwell.

Twenty three minutes in and Charlie Jackson found some room in the middle and he played a delightful ball over the top to Alfie Gaspar but the wind just took it too far. Moments later Sam Austin found Jake Baldwin from a throw in and Jake beat his player but his shot was well saved.
Just before the half hour and Flackwell were on the attack again, this time the attacker got his shot away but an outstretched leg from Dan McAteer took a wicked deflection and beat Archie David to make it 2-0 Flackwell.

Then a potential game changing incident as a Flackwell player went in with a high and reckless challenge on Alfie Gaspar who ended up in the air, however the Flackwell player was given a straight red card. Before half time a great interplay between Darnell Ramsay and Kevin Owusu saw Kevin hit a great shot, just over the bar. The Dynamos neeed a goal to claw themselves back into the game.

Half time: 2-0 Flackwell

Phil made three changes at half time bringing on Dan Lambeth, Lamar Mason-Williams and Jack Elsey as Dan McAteer, Linus Kusi and Darnell Ramsay made way. Dan Lambeth made an immediate impact as Lamar played him in but his shot was well saved as the Dynamos started to pressurise the away side

Five minutes into the second half Alfi Touceda won the ball in the middle and played it through to Dan Lambeth again, this time his shot whistled over the bar. The Dynamos were pushing for a goal, however it was Flackwell that would have the ball in the back of the net for a third time as a nother long ball beat the defence and although Archie got a touch, the ball ended up in the back of the net. 3-0 Flackwell.

With sixty one minutes on the clock Kevin Owusu who was now getting more joy on the right flank, injected a burst of speed, passed the ball inside to Dan Lambeth who played in Jake Baldwin who was steamingup on the left, but his shot was blocked by the Flackwell defender.

It was Dan Lambeth who then set up the next move as he moved down the right and his pinpoint pass was met by Kevin Owusu who happily slotted the ball past the keeper. Dynamos 1-3 Flackwell.

Alex Ashman and Dan Griffiths came on to give another push and replace some tired legs and less than five minutes later came the Dynamos second goal. Charlie Jackson was busy in the midfield and won the ball and passed it to Dan Lambeth. Dan beat a couple of players and hit an unstoppable shot passed the Flackwell keeper. The Dynamos were back in the game at 2-3.

In the final ten minutes Jake Baldwin, Dan Lambeth and Dan Griffiths all had half chances to get that elusive equaliser, but it was not to be.

Final score Dynamos 2-3 Flackwell Heath.

The Dynamos will be travelling to Abingdon United on Tuesday night for their penultimate pre-season friendly, before welcoming Egham Town on Saturday 29th August.
