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.

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.

 

Red Star 45s vs Barely Athletic

Goals from Jim Semmence 2.

A decent game where Barely played well but made two big errors resulting in Red Star goals.

Merry Christmas!
