Nailsea Vets 50s vs Chew Magna 50s

Match Reports

Nailsea got off to a flier with Christian netting in the first few minutes with a shot that took a lucky deflection to wrong foot the Chew keeper. Within 5 minutes Nailsea added a second. Nelly crossed from the left to find Frosty who found space on the edge of the 6 yard box and calmly slotted home. Nelly was involved again on 15 minutes when he intercepted a pass from Chew keeper and fired low into the right hand corner. Nailsea added one more before half time with a brilliant shot from the left corner of the box into the right side of the net.

Not much to report for the first 25 minutes of the second half until guess who … Nelly grabbed his well deserved hatrick picking up an incisive pass from Christian.

Chew were finally rewarded for their efforts with a cracking volley but Nailsea replied shortly after with the goal of the game. The ball found Alex running into the right hand channel and he squared into the box to find Jerry about 12 yards out. With all the time in the world and just the keeper to beat, and shouts of time, take a touch he deftly chipped with his first touch to float the ball over the advancing keeper.

Chew added one more to their tally with a glancing header that Darren P pushed onto the post only for the ball to rebound back onto his chest into the net.

Although Nailsea put in a great performance Chew battled throughout with a depleted squad. Played in true Corinthian spirit throughout.
