Lyde Green Vets vs Pucklechurch FC Vets
Lyde got revenge on us on a sunny morning at Lyde Green. The pitch was horrible and both teams did well to manage that and produce a decent game. We missed 3 or 4 very good chances before a penalty and free kick put Lyde 2-0 up, somewhat against the run of play. We got one back thanks to a decent strike just after half time but we struggled to create much as the game went on and Lyde were comfortable at the end and grabbed another to seal the win.
Pucklechurch FC Vets vs Frampton Ath Vets
A disappointing result for Puckle as we went down 3-1 to a strong Frampton side. Wilts scored a wonder goal for us but nothing much went right for us, including a missed penalty late on. No excuses, over the two games against Frampton 3 points each is probably fair.
Chew Magna Vets vs Banjo Munchenbadback
First win of the season for Banjo who led by 1 before being pegged back to trail 1v2 mid-way through the second half. Two late goals secured the points for Banjo
Retainers FC vs Lyde Green Vets
Walkover awarded to Lyde Green as Retainers unable to raise a team
Pucklechurch FC Vets vs Lyde Green Vets
After a disappointing result and performance last week we got back on track with a gritty win against a strong Lyde Green side. In an even first half we took the lead when a corner was lobbed in and Ryan nodded home from 2 yards out. Scott blazed over when well placed and Sam fired a free kick over but Lyde also had their moments. The second half we were pinned back in for long periods of time against the wind but scored a second on the counter when Scott raced on to a clearance with an immaculate touch and finish. They got one back from a goalmouth scramble but in the main we kept them at arms length despite all their superior possession.
