Recliners FC vs Fishponds Legends

A great game at BAWA played in good spirit throughout, Recliners managed to go 20 minutes without conceding a poor goal, but finally did when too much time was afforded in the midfield and a good pass picked out a well timed runner who slotted. Another mistake at the back gifted a second and it was 2-0 at the break, Recliners pushed up after HT and had their best spell, which was ended when a direct free kick made it 3-0 against the run of play. Lee scored a great goal from the edge of the area to pull one back, before two moments of sloppy defending at corners allowed Fishponds to race into a 5-1 lead. Their defence then offered up some chances in return, Jim and Matt both lobbed the keeper for 5-3. Late on a poor clearance was returned with interest with the keeper way out pf position. Final score 6-3, good luck Fishponds for the run in.

Nailsea Vets 50s vs Chew Magna 50s

Nailsea were keen to bounce back against Chew after the narrow cup defeat two weeks ago. On this occasion, Nailsea bossed much of the play and after 12 minutes Lee Cogan was in a position to open the scoring. Christian floated an accurate cross to Cookie on the left side of the penalty box who in turn found Lee who poked in from 8 yards out.  Despite creating several chances (including a bullet-free kick from Christian brilliantly saved by the Chew keeper) Nailsea couldn’t convert further, and the score remained 1-0 at half-time.

The second half continued in a similar fashion and Nailsea threatened a second but were always wary of Chew on the break. Gazza in goal for Nailsea made a great stop low to his right to deny Chew. Shortly after at 60 minutes, Lee took advantage of a mix-up in the Chew defense and fired low to the keeper’s right to notch his second

Several other chances went begging for Nailsea but a 2-0 final score provided some consolation for the cup defeat.

Thanks to Chew for allowing an under-age keeper for Nailsea. He made one great stop but was reasonably untroubled for much of the game.
