USW captain John Lowrie was in high spirits post-match despite a 3-2 loss to Cardiff Met 3rds this afternoon.
Met were given three yellow cards in the second half but still managed to claw themselves to victory after being 2-1 down for most of the second half.
Lowrie said: “I think we put a hell of a shift in.
“We took our chances when we had them and it’s a good sign for us for the rest of the season.
“It was always going to be tight after going 2-1 up.
“I did believe we could get the win but it’s a shame we didn’t. We were very, very close to it.
“Considering they are a league above us, they didn’t show it.
“We really stepped up to their level.”
When asked about the discipline of the opposition, Lowrie added: “It (the cards) certainly helped us.
“But they didn’t look that much different with or without them.
“They were a bit all over the place in general.”
