Match Reports
A curious game for Red Star who lost the initiative early on and never really managed to find their way again. The real winners here were the barn door preservation society, as the Russell goal, supremely well protected by their loan keeper, seemed immune to almost all of Red Star’s attacking intent.
Plenty of drama and goals for the neutral though and glorious conditions for an autumn game. Definitely a victory for Corinthian-ism as, faced with initial selection issues, both teams and Mike Akers from the league worked together through the week to get two teams out and the game on. Big thanks to Henleaze who stepped in to make up the numbers and a fine demonstration of the great inter club spirit in the league. Credit to Russell Athletic for an accomplished performance and some lethal finishing, particularly on the break when Red Star were chasing the game.
