FRIENDLY: HAVERFORDWEST TOWN 1 CARDIFF CITY 3

City's final pre-season friendly was essentially a reserve outing but did includes first teamers such as Darren Purse (playing with his wedding ring disguised by bandaging the wedding ring finger and right up to his wrost), Paul Parry, Peter Whittingham and Chris Gunter - confirmation that, at best, these players can expect to start Saturday afternoon on the bench when the meaningful action starts.

Haverfordwest took the lead through a own goal by the hapless Darren Purse, his second o.g. in pre-season!, who really is having a tough time at present. However Matt Green equalised within 2 minutes and City moved ahead on the hour, and they stepped up a gear, as Green completed a double. The game was clinched later on via Jason Byrne'as strong finish after a mazy run..

The stars of the show acorrding to feedback by City fans on
www.cardiffcity.com were Parry, Whittingham and teen star Aaron Ramsey although Purse was strong and commanding.
