League: Over 35s

Backwell Ath Vets Report:

A really good game played in the Corninthian spirit. Both teams played some good football and tried to keep the ball moving in muddy conditions.
Backwell probably edged the possession and attacking stats and this finally told as we went 1-0 up in the first half.
Another Backwell goal soon after half time gave us some breathing space but Red Star kept going and made the game really competitive. Finally they won a penalty in the last ten minutes which was dispatched with aplomb and set up a grand stand finish which the huge crowd of a couple of kids and a bloke and his dog thoroughly enjoyed.

Red Star 35s Report:

The last game before the 2nd lockdown, which was played in a VERY CORINTHIAN yet competitive spirit by both sides. Backwell played some great football and took a 2-0 lead with Red Star also playing well and fighting back as the game went on. The game was also brilliantly reffed which only added to the enjoyment of this high quality, competitive and very corinthian game of football as we all brace ourselves for another lockdown and no team sports for a while.

Fry Club Vets vs Yate Town Vets

Yate Town ran out victors in a game where a draw may of been a fairer result. The away side took the lead through a splendid 30 yard finish during the first half catching the Fry’s keeper unawares. Fry Club took control of the second period and were unfortunate to not level the scoring. Yate killed the game with two late finishes before Marc Richards picking up a well taken consolation effort in added time.

An evenly contested game overall and well refereed in the morning sunshine

From Away side

3 -1 victory for Yate Town away At Frys with the wind in our favour we took a 20 minute lead with a long range effort which took the keeper by surprise. Taking this lead into half time. The tide did change second half and frys had the lion share of play with a couple of half chances and long range efforts. But on the counter and against the run of play we manage to score two breakaway goals. Frys scored the final goal of the game after good play by their winger who beat a few players before nicely slotting the ball home into the bottom corner.

Overall was a perfect autumn morning on a cracking pitch with great facilities. With a great friendly welcome. Was great to see old friends.
