Lyde Green Vets vs Frampton Ath Vets

Frampton Athletic Vets

A great game of football played with great corinthian spirit! Very even throughout the first half, with Lyde Green taking a 1-0 lead mid-way through the half. The Lyde Green goalkeeper pulled off a worldie to keep the score 1-0 just before half time. Frampton made it 1-1 within five minutes of the restart, before Frampton’s legs disappeared on the hour mark and the fitness levels of Lyde Green led them to dominate the remainder of the game and make the scoreline very comfortable for them.

Lyde Green Vets

Another good close encounter with Frampton played in excellent spirit throughout. It took Lyde a solid half hour before some of the hangovers started to subside and Ben gave us the lead. A few good saves from both keepers kept the score at 1-0 at the break. Frampton level after Carts failed to cut out a cross (earning him yet another Donkey award from his teammates) leaving an easy finish at the back post. It turns out this was the kick Lyde needed and after hitting the crossbar 3 times, Doughtz gave us the lead when the ball fell at his feet 6 yards out from a corner. The game started to fizzle out as Frampton tired and Doughtz grabbed his second to secure the win.

Banjo Munchenbadback vs Pucklechurch FC Vets

Not sure where to start with this game!

Pucklechurch started strongly taking advantage of Banjo mistakes to lead by 2 in 10 minutes, but Banjo came back to lead 3v2 before Church equalised to go in at half time 3v3.

10 minutes into second half Puckle lead 5v3 and then a further goal made it 6v3 before Banjo hit back to make 6v4.

Puckle then made it 7 and 8 before Banjo rallied late to cut the deficit with 2 goals to end the game 6 v 8

 

What a game for the neutrals! A latecomer on the sidelines came at 10.40am and he missed 5 goals. In truth there were a number of chances missed for both teams and 8-6 could easily have been 14-14. It was a competitive affair with one slightly bad tackle from our behalf, but with handshakes, beers and sausage and chips after which was much appreciated.
