Nailsea Vets 50s vs Red Star 50s

Match Reports

A late change of venue saw us playing at The Grove in Nailsea. Thanks to Lee Cogan for sorting that out at short notice. Nailsea made good use of the large pitch in the first half and bossed much of the play, but for all their possession couldn’t convert a goal. Red Star didn’t threaten much but one break against the run of play forced Lee McGreevy into a good save to keep the score at 0-0.

The second half continued in a similar fashion with Nailsea looking comfortable on the ball but 60 minutes into the game Red Star converted a rare chance to take the lead. Red Star grew in confidence and were soon 2-0 up. A break down the left with a neat pull back found their striker (everybodys striker!) Tahir 6 yards out to side foot in. A mix up at the back by Nailsea conceded a 3^rd. Nailsea scored a late consolation goal. A neat one two in the box put Kit through who slotted home but it was too little too late. Nailsea were left wondering how they didn’t create more for all the possession but Red Star will be pleased with their clinical finishing.

All played in an excellent spirit with good banter over a pint after the game.
