Match Reports

RED STAR MATCH REPORT

A very competitive and close fought game. Goalless at half-time despite chances for both teams and some quality saves from the Chew keeper, the visitors edged ahead via the penalty spot and then doubled their lead shortly after. Red Star came back into it with their own penalty and were just building a head of steam when Chew added a third. Still Red Star continued to throw everything at it and good chances went narrowly astray. Red Star pulled one back with a stooping header from a corner at the very death, but they were out of time and out of luck. Good game in some welcome if blustery spring weather, thanks to Chew for playing their part well.

These are two well matched teams and another close fought game, played in good spirt ended with Chew holding out for the win. The first half was a tight battle with Red Star on the balance on top but Chew dug in and kept it to scoreless thanks to some resolute defending and excellent saves from Keen in goal. Chew started the second half strongly increasing the pressure on the Red Star goal, and were reward with a penalty which Lewis calmly dispatched. Cornelius on the left wing was firing in a succession of wicked in-swinging corners and these paid dividends when Fisher scored with a lovely header at the far post. Red star fought back and won their own penalty and with the score now 2-1 pushed for the equaliser. Chew dug in and were glad as time ran out to see Lewis seal the game with a third.

However Red Star weren’t done and after winning a corner scored for the second time against Chew with the last kick of the game. However it was too late and Chew celebrated the win. It was great to see both teams sitting outside the clubhouse enjoying a few beers in the sunshine after the game.
