Nailsea Vets 50s vs Chew Magna 50s

Match Reports

Nailsea were keen to bounce back against Chew after the narrow cup defeat two weeks ago. On this occasion, Nailsea bossed much of the play and after 12 minutes Lee Cogan was in a position to open the scoring. Christian floated an accurate cross to Cookie on the left side of the penalty box who in turn found Lee who poked in from 8 yards out.  Despite creating several chances (including a bullet-free kick from Christian brilliantly saved by the Chew keeper) Nailsea couldn’t convert further, and the score remained 1-0 at half-time.

The second half continued in a similar fashion and Nailsea threatened a second but were always wary of Chew on the break. Gazza in goal for Nailsea made a great stop low to his right to deny Chew. Shortly after at 60 minutes, Lee took advantage of a mix-up in the Chew defense and fired low to the keeper’s right to notch his second

Several other chances went begging for Nailsea but a 2-0 final score provided some consolation for the cup defeat.

Thanks to Chew for allowing an under-age keeper for Nailsea. He made one great stop but was reasonably untroubled for much of the game.
