Rapid Dementia vs Nailsea Vets 45’s

Match Reports

Rapid played their first match against a good Nailsea Vets side in what turned out to be a decent Corinthians match. Manager Gregory consulted weather legend Michael Fish before booking Writhlington 3G so the game was on. Unfortunately a number of players turned out to be unfit to start and even the pre match joke couldn’t lift them to a state of readiness!

It was a good opening from Rapid however and an intelligent burst into the box saw Weaver latch onto a through ball from JD before rounding the keeper and slotting home. An early injury saw Rapids only fit sub Morgs take the field and possibly due to a lack of a good warm up or a hangover, he was dispossessed allowing Nailsea to run and score the equaliser. Gregory unusually had a bit of a rant before JD settled nerves by robbing the CB and running in to take a very calmly converted finish.

A early second half tap in from Weaver was followed by a peach of a header from Clive Costner Slocombe to extend the lead before JD hit a sweet left footed shot into the top corner. The final goal came when JD found Gregory with a forward run and his fizzed pass was superbly converted by the waiting Curtis!

Rapid extend their 100% record this season and look forward to the crucial clash against Wick!
