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.
KCC FC vs Swags Vets
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.
