Bryan Munich vs Re-Union

Bryan played their first game of the season against former winners Reunion in the cup at a glorious Shirehampton Park.

The whole of the first half it seemed was parked in the Bryan end as Reunion pressed forward. They used the width of the pitch really well and attacked superbly down the flanks but Bryan held fast and debutante ‘keeper Carl made a couple of magnificent saves. Eventually the deadlock was broken on 37 minutes as a great ball in from the right was met at the far post.

Bryan Munich went in 1-0 down at half time and the talk was all about being rusty and not using the space well. A second goal came on the hour mark as Bryan should have cleared and the home side tactics were changed. The remainder of the game was a proper ding dong cup battle and Bryan pulled one back as pressure finally told. Chances went begging at either end but Reunion were worthy winners, well organised, quick at the back and composed.

We wish them well.
