Windy Essex

Monday 26 February 2024, Colchester United U21 2 Cardiff City U21 0 - Professional Development League, Park Drive (Maldon).


A game that was always going to be difficult for both sides due to the strong wind, neither keeper had to do much for the first 40 odd minutes with Cardiff looking slightly more dangerous. Then in the 43rd minute, Colchester were awarded a soft penalty that they scored from, this caused the Cardiff coach to send plenty of abuse towards both the  Ref and the lino, but 2 minutes later it was the Colchester fans he was arguing with after the hosts added a second with a great shot from distance. The Cardiff coach was quick to tell the Colchester fans that the Welsh side would still win.


He was wrong! Thought Colchester would struggle with the wind in their faces in the second half but in fact they came closer to scoring that Cardiff but the game ended up with a comfortable win for United.
