Chew Magna Vets vs Pucklechurch FC Vets
A competitive game played in the right spirit, Chew Magna took the lead twice before we nosed ahead in the second half. A late header gave Chew a share of the spoils. We dominated the ball but Chew were more efficient and clinical with it so a draw was probably the right result and we all had a beer after.
Banjo Munchenbadback vs Lyde Green Vets
Excellent Vets match played in great spirit and superbly refereed. What more could you ask for?
Lyde took the lead through Mike before Banjo struck back. An excellent Westy cross saw Yan tap in to allow Lyde to retake the lead before a good strike from Scott made it 3-1 at the break.
injuries meant lots of disruption for Lyde in the 2nd half where we soaked up Banjo pressure and held on to claim the win.
Enjoyable game that saw some good football played in the right spirit. Freds equalised for Banjo with a solo goal struck from the edge of the box after rounding a couple of Lyde defenders. Despite having a lot of pressure second half Banjo, couldn’t get the important “next goal” and the game ended in Lyde’s favour, followed by a few beers and grub in the Lamb.
Sands United Bristol vs Vasco Da South Glos
A great game on a lovely afternoon. Some great sportsmanship from a VSG player who went down in the box and ref gave the pen. The player held his hands up and apologised as maybe perhaps shouldn’t have been as minimal contact, VSG rolled the ball to Sands keeper. ??
Pill Utd vs Recliners Youth
A beautiful morning to start a brand-new season. Recliners took the lead around the 20-minute mark, with a lovely cross from Darren and Steve Ellis slotted the ball home at the near post. Pill found themselves getting into the game and had some very good chances to equalise. 5 minutes before half-time, Pill were awarded a penalty and confidently converted to level the scores. Pill seemed to have momentum and advantage at this point and could have easily taken the lead. But with seconds left on the clock, Recliners had a throw-in, Edd delivered it nicely and Steve Pavey ran in at the back post to restore Recliners lead. 2-1 at Half time. Within 2 minutes of the start, Steve Pavey scored again to make it 3-1. With Recliners having a full squad of 14 for this weekend, they were making regular changes to keep players fresh and it really did help, with Jon scoring his first of the season, Steve Ellis doubling his goal tally for the day after going round the keeper and Steve Pavey completed his hat-trick late in the second half. A great start to the season and in full Corinthians spirit too. The Final score 6-1 to Recliners Youth
