League: Brain 45s Div 3
Shipham AFC vs Fishponds Legends
Beautiful morning on the edge of the Mendips.
Shock of shocks, Shipham went 2:0 up within 10 minutes…before reverting to our usually generous style and gifting goals to the opposition.
Made it slightly interesting by getting to within a goal with a few minutes left, only to give away a needless corner, from which Fishponds scored to secure the win.
Good spirit on and off the pitch. Young ref who did a great job. Chips and Butcombe at the boozer afterwards. Happy days.
Swift FC vs Shipham AFC
Swift: Superb game on a lovely pitch, fair to say both attacks were on top! Could have been a hatful more goals at either end. Great game played enjoyed by all.
Shipham: We’re getting better – we scored two goals and didn’t let as many in. Just another 5 matches and we should get a half decent result! We missed another penalty too – and were just as generous in front of goal as we always are. Decent game played in the right spirit on a fabulous flat and dry pitch at Fry’s.
Shipham AFC vs Cribbs Vets
And there we were, boom, right back where we left off – scoring a goal or two but tiring too quickly and being far too generous in front of goal.
That said, Cribbs should definitely not be in Div 3 and won’t be for long. By far the best team we’ve played in a while – just up from the 35s and all good footballers.
Game played in good spirit on a beautiful September morning in Somerset.
The upside? We were 1:0 up after 5 mins and had them against the ropes…:-)
