Match Reports

Recliners FC Report:

Proverbial game of two halves….Recliners started as poorly as ever been seen….shapeless, ragged….deservedly found themselves 3-0 playing up the mountainous slope. After the water break we switched to 4-5-1 and looked all the better, nicking one back before halftime.

Second half was one way traffic with Recliners dominating completely. Goald from Toby and John levelled it and there looked only one probable winner, until a wayward Chew strike cannoned off their forward and past the stranded Recliners keeper. Recliners lost defender Mark Smith with a broken leg after a whole-hearted 50/50, but stuck to the task and Toby bagged a second with a few minutes left. Recliners were unable to see Chew off and so it was to penalties. Dykes and Price were unable to covert so out we went 3-2 on pens. Game played in reasonable spirit aside from the need for one Yellow card and protracted moaning at the ref by a couple of players.

chew Magna Report:

Very much a game of two halves Chew used the downhill momentum well and established a 3-0 lead through two goals from Lewis and 1 from R. Smith. Recliners pulled one back just before half time and then the pattern reversed in the second half. Recliners took control and very soon levelled to make it 3-3 and then laid siege to the Chew goal. The game was in balance as keeper Keen kept recliners at bay and Chew missed a couple of chances on the break before scoring a deflected goal by M. Smith. Just when it looked that Chew would hold out for the win Recliners equalised to bring the game to a fitting climax. Keen was strong in goal and saved two, while 4 fine penalties from Lewis, M. Smith, Green and finally Coppell to secured the win and take Chew through to the quarters 4-2.
A Competitive and topsy turvy game,  played in  good spirit generally.
