League: Over 45s

Barely Athletic vs Easton Cowboys 45’s

A great game to end the season with.  Barely scored with Mark Green beating the keeper after some great build up work. Barely finishing the half annoyed it was only 1.0 . Second half we spurned more chances and them Easton’s number 17 beat the off side trap and sent a lob cross into the Barely box which deceived everyone and dropped into the net. 1.1 . Barely continued to carve out chances with several one on one’s but it wasn’t our day so honours even.

Rapid Dementia vs Bryan Munich

Good game as usual against Bryan and as usual they pipped us to the result. Pleased with Rapids performance and look forward to playing our friends at Bryan again!

Barely Athletic vs Recliners FC

A tough, bone hard pitch at Frys made for a scrappy game. Barely flew out of the blocks with 2 early goals, one of them gifted by a poor backpass, one a great lobbed finish. Recliners arrived in the game about 15 minutes too late, but gradually took control from there. Barely were physical and resilient as always and featured the same striker who had blown us away playing for Cowboys the previous week. Luckily he left his shooting boots at home this time and missed a couple of decent chances when Barely broke. Josh pulled a goal back just before HT and then scored twice more after the break, as well as hitting the bar. Barely’s chances in the second half mainly came from Recliners giving them the ball and in the end, a whipped corner was headed home for an OG equalizer. Things got a bit fractious towards the end and the excellent ref made a good decision to call a halt to proceedings a few minutes early. Good luck to Barely for the rest of the season.

 

Barely goals from Jim Semmence Clive and an Og.

Enjoyed the game.

Well done Recliners
