League: 35s Premier League Cup

Lyde Green Vets vs Frampton Ath Vets

LG report:
Result today in the cup was Lyde Green 0-1 Frampton.
Competitive game between two hard working sides which was eventually settled with 10 minutes remaining as the Frampton wideman swung in a cross that eluded the Lyde keeper.
Frampton Report:
Great game of football played, especially given both teams have gone 6 months without kicking a ball. Both teams created chances, with both goalkeepers keeping their teams in the game. With the match heading to penalties, it was Frampton that snatched the victory with a lucky shot-come-cross, which floated over the home team goalkeeper to put Frampton into round 2!

Pucklechurch FC Vets vs Yate Town Vets

Yate Report:
Game was played in great spirit and full credit to Pucklechurch for a great playing service and hospitality in these hard times.
Pucklechurch Report:

After drawing Wick in the first round last year, the cup draw gods seem to be against us as we drew a newly formed Yate Town team. With a few new signings we felt confident and turned up almost at full strength. The first 5 minutes were even, and we won the last 20 minutes 1-0. It’s just a shame there was 65 minutes in between when they beat us 9-0. We’re just glad they missed a few open goals and eased off at the end!

Yate were a really good group of lads, humble in victory, and came for a beer after.

 

Ashley Vets vs Knowle CC

KCC Report:

Brief match report: KCC FC’s first competitive game was against a well organised Ashley. We had an injury in the warm up leaving us down to 12 players to start with. During the first half we then had another injury leaving us with the bare 11. KCC FC held our own during the first half but were undone by a well worked move down the left and a sweet volley finish off a cross into the penalty area. We went in 1-0 down at halftime but still feeling upbeat to be holding our own against a 1st division team.
In the 2nd half Ashley started to put their stamp on the game and ended up scoring a header from a cross mid way through.
We then swapped one of our injured players into keeper and moved our keeper outfield. Ashley then took a shot from about 20 yards out and our new keeper let it roll through his body into the goal for Ashley’s 3rd. Ashley played out the game to win 3-0.
Ashley Report:
A very good game of football this morning. A very competitive first half. We took the lead half way through the half, 1-0 to us at half time. We scored twice more in the second half to end with a 3-0 win.
