League: Brunel 35s Div 2

Pucklechurch FC Vets vs Retainers FC

Retainers produced their best performance of the season in a cracking game against a very good Puckle team. A double from Helmi secured the win, keeper Dan produced an incredible quadruple save without which things could have been completely different.

 

We had a difficult morning against a hard working Retainers side. We had a few missing but that’s vets football! We applied some second half pressure but ultimately Retainers missed a hatful of chances and ran out well deserved winners and had the best player on the pitch by a country mile.

Chew Magna Vets vs Lyde Green Vets

Game played in horrible wind and rain on a boggy pitch but every player got on with the task in hand. 1-1 at half time after Mike gave Lyde the lead before Tokes finally got a goal for Lyde (sadly into the wrong net). 2nd half was dictated by Lyde when Yan was felled, Doughtz slotted home a penalty. 2-1 quickly became 4-1 through Mike and Doughtz before Mikes hat trick really sealed things. Chew scored a screamer to bring things closer but Ian’s late header sealed the 6-2 win for Lyde. Never seen a bunch of blokes run to the showers at that speed after a match. It was freezing and soaking. Game played in great spirits and controlled well by the referee

Banjo Munchenbadback vs Frampton Ath Vets

Disappointing second half performance from Banjo saw them fall to another defeat. Despite challenging conditions both sides played some good football but the pace and finishing of Frampton won the day convincingly.

Lyde Green Vets vs Banjo Munchenbadback

Banjo fell to another defeat at the hands of Lyde after conceding some sloppy first half goals to go in at 0 v 3. However, Banjo improved second half and took the game to their hosts creating a number of chances and maintaining possession “down the slope”. Eventually Cooky hit a fine goal to reduce the deficit and put further pressure on the home side. Lyde however were always dangerous and scored a fourth to secure the result.

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.
