League: Over 45s
Henleaze Corinthians 45s vs Recliners FC
An excellent game between two well matched sides, Corries probably played the better football overall but Recliners had the clearer cut chances. Perhaps both sides leave feeling they could have won it but in the end the draw was about right. Corries went in 2-1 up at half time and scored again against the run of play early in the second half. A combination of good attacking play and the odd defensive error allowed Recliners back in, although by then stand in keeper JT had already allowed a fourth Corries goal to slip through his hands. Game was played in an (almost) perfect spirit, ref was very good. We look forward to the return!
Bury Legends vs Chew Magna 45s
On a very hot day Chew ran out deserved winners!
Chew had a lot of the ball in the first half and dominated midfield but for the most part failed to take advantage of their possession until Worgan drilled home after some good wing play down the righthand side.
Bury, playing more direct football, had several chances to equalise before they finally drew level from the penalty spot, Nigel Lush converting after Rob Sharp was brought down by the Chew keeper!
Chew took the lead midway through the second half with an absolute worldy from Langson, driving the ball into the top corner from 25 yards!!
After that Bury tired and Chew dominated and could have scored more before Fisher prodded home from close range to seal the victory.
Congratulations to Chew and good luck for the rest of the season.
