Easton Monday vs Easton Cowboys

EASTON MONDAY MATCH REPORT
We knew that the Cowboys would put up a tough test as they always do. All game – it was a closely fought battle and neither team were allowed much time and space. There were also some very tasty challenges going in but in the most part – they were very fair from both teams. The best chances of the game fell to Jason who had two chances excellently saved off the line by their very good keeper. Jamie also had a header that went just wide of the post.

Red Star 35s vs Backwell Ath Vets

Despite the heavy rain the Somerdale Pavilion pitch held up to provide the setting for what has become a bit of a non-local derby fixture.  The game remain locked at 0-0 before a lapse of concentration and a cross-come-shot aided by the blustery conditions gave Backwell a 2-0 half-time lead.  They added two more early in the second half to effectively put the game out of sight.  Red Star forced a corner which was driven low across the box allowing Cammy to stab it home to maintain the fight.  A later shot from range clipped the bar, but Backwell continued to break impressively forcing Red Star (me) into committing a few fouls as they tried to prevent it turning into a rout.  Backwell more than deserved the win and the game was played in an excellent spirit.
