RED STAR MATCH REPORT
Red Star’s unbeaten start to the season continued, but a point snatched from the jaws of defeat was perhaps less than optimum after dominating the second half. Having said that, the Cowboys defended resolutely and their keeper made a number of good saves, a draw at least avoids the bitter taste of defeat.
The Cowboys took the lead through a very cool finish midway through the first half and were looking dangerous, but Red Star slowly grew into the game, creating several good chances. When the equaliser came through a crisp strike by ‘The Black Knight’ Waj it looked like the lurid Greens had the initiative, only for this notion to be swiftly dispelled. Cowboys took the lead again when a long free kick sneaked through the Red Star backline, running on for a smart finish by the Cowboys striker. 1-2 down at half time.
Red Star brought on Windy and Slopey, their 12th and 13th men for the second half and, with their help, launched a series of assaults on the Cowboys goal. These proved mostly to land wide of the mark to varying degrees (with and without keeper assistance), Windy and Slopey actually then conspiring to waste at least 5 minutes for protracted ball retrievals. The last ten minutes saw more corners than a box of Rubik’s cubes, each coming agonisingly close, amidst frantic penalty box mayhem. Dramatically, into the very last moments, Red Star finally drew level, when a fine in-swinging delivery was bundled in by Dan at the back post for a well deserve equaliser.
Good game in a good spirit in good conditions. We at Red Star were saddened to learn of the recent loss of a long standing Cowboy. It was an honour to be able to join in with the pre-match commemoration of a Corinthian career.
