Nailsea Vets 45s vs Red Star 45s

An excellent closely fought match between two strong teams.

Red Star started brightly but once Nailsea got into their stride they took a comfortable 2-0 lead into half time thanks to goals from Lee Cogan and Martin Sidebottom.

Lee Cogan added a third shortly after half time but a goal back from Red Star to make it 3-1 changed the game. Red Star were then on top and pushed hard for further goals but Nailsea held firm to record an excellent victory.

Banjo Munchenbadback vs Chew Magna Vets

Disappointing result for Banjo who missed chances but allowed A better Chew side on the day to take the points. Two well hit free kicks and and far post lob put Chew in control at half time. Banjo were never out of the game and pulled one back half through the second half before an overhead volley (yes in vets football!) put the game beyond reach. Fair play to Chew who deserved the win on the day and for joining the boys for a beer and grub in the pub afterwards.

Reclinosaurs vs St Brendan’s RFC OB

A really well contested game at BAWA with little to choose between the two sides. Reclinosaurs edged it in terms of possession and chances created, but St B’s were competitive throughout and in the end the fact that they only had bare 11 was a significant factor in the result. The Saurs took the lead when Demmy headed so inaccurately into the ground that the force of the bounce looped the ball over the keeper. They added a second when the unsighted B’s keeper could only parry Gaffers’ cross into the net. Both sides had good penalty shouts rejected in a tight second half of few chances. Jase wasted a one on one when clean through and the B’s keeper made a great save from Gaffers’ long range effort. In the final minute the B’s striker finally got free but blazed over. Great effort from both sets of players and a game played in good spirit.
