Match Reports
This was a really good game despite the heavy pitch and a fair result overall. Reclinosaurs experienced a ‘new manager bounce’ in the first half, with Steve stepping up as Mike took referee duties, the real official having called in sick with a hangover. The Saurs played some great possession football, taking the lead when Edd lobbed the keeper after latching on to a defence-splitting pass from the oldest man on the pitch Tony M. Unusually for us we barely conceded a chance before the break and went in one up. We expected a response from Red Star and sure enough it came. They had much the better of the second half, drilling in the equalizer with about 20 to go and creating several other opportunities without ever really testing Dan in goal. Our left back Si came closest to winning it for Red Star, somehow clearing his own header off the line and over the bar when it seemed an OG was inevitable. Robi almost won it for us with a free kick late on, but in the end honors even was about right. Game was played in great spirit throughout with hardly a foul in the game. Good luck Red Star for the run in.
