Nailsea Vets 50s vs Red Star 50s

Match Reports

We’ve never dominated a match so much and come away without a point. Red Star deserves much praise for their outstanding defensive performance. Their keeper was solid throughout but Nailsea squandered chance after chance, hitting the bar 3 times but not able to find the net. Red Star went ahead early on when their striker Simon hit in a low cross only for Cookie to stab the ball into his own net. What made Red Stars performance even more memorable was the fact they only had one sub who was deployed after Simons cross for the own goal as he pulled up with a hamstring injury. They then suffered another injury half way through the second half so played the remaining 25 minutes with 10 men. Whilst they didn’t have a shot on target the entire game I think they were as surprised with the result as were were when the final whistle blew. This is one for Nailsea to forget! As ever against these guys, played in a terrific spirit.
