Reclinosaurs vs Filton High Vets
BAWA pitch held up well as Reclinosaurs and Filton played out an 8 goal thriller. Unfortunately I only caught the last few minutes, but I’m told it was a great game, the Saurs dominated early on and were 3-1 up at one stage, but Filton fought back and could have nicked it at the end. Goals from Rick (3) and Zsolt. Thanks for lending the keeper top, our keeper is contacting one of your boys who he knows to arrange returning it.
Sherston Vets vs Reclinosaurs
Reclinosaurs were completely schooled by a strong Sherston team on a lovely morning in the Wiltshire countryside. The old Daft Punk song ‘Harder, faster, better, stronger’ pretty much summed up the difference between the 2 teams as Reclinosaurs were outclassed from start to finish. There were too many goals to remember but the second scored after a lovely move on the break and the 5th, a bullet header from a wicked free kick stood out. #Talisman provided the only moment of cheer for the ‘Saurs when scoring with a fierce drive just after HT. The game was played in an exemplary spirit throughout and was also reffed really well. Good luck for the season to Sherston, although on today’s evidence I don’t think they will need it!
Reclinosaurs vs Avon Retreads
The BAWA pitch was in great condition despite the downpours and the weather was perfect for the game. Reclinosaurs started brightly, creating several good chances before a well worked move was finished superbly by Jani. Retreads looked dangerous on the break and with the HT score 1-0 we knew more goals would be needed. Retreads came out of the blocks quickly after the break and equalized with a great free kick, then took the lead following a scramble after a corner. Reclinsoaurs were down, but not out and some comedy defending allowed the Duke to nip in twice to score, unfortunately pulling his hammy in the process. Reclinosaurs 3-2 up. With legs tiring it was backs to the wall for the last twenty and eventually a penalty was awarded allowing Retreads to equalize. Result was about right, thanks to Rich for reffing, well played all!
