Nailsea Vets 50s vs Re-Union

Match Reports

Our games vs ReUion are so often closely fought contests and the score line might suggest it was the same again. The reality is ReUnion controlled much of the game and had a hat full of chances. Nailsea managed to keep the score at 0 – 0 until 20 minutes from the end largely thanks to an outstanding performance from our keeper Lee McGreevy. Notable saves included a superb first half tip over the bar from a close range ReUnion header and a low diving save in the second half to paw the ball away round the post.

The irony is ReUnions goal came from a miss kick from Lee to let ReUnion in for a scrappy but well deserved goal. Nailsea failed to cause ReUnion many problems in their box and their very well organised defence kept any Nailsea chances to speculative efforts from range.

Always good fun playing these guys. Looking forward to the away fixture next year when we hope to reverse the result.
