League: Premier Divisions
Easton Monday vs Easton Cowboys
EASTON MONDAY MATCH REPORT
We knew that the Cowboys would put up a tough test as they always do. All game – it was a closely fought battle and neither team were allowed much time and space. There were also some very tasty challenges going in but in the most part – they were very fair from both teams. The best chances of the game fell to Jason who had two chances excellently saved off the line by their very good keeper. Jamie also had a header that went just wide of the post.

Enjoyable game with a good bunch of lads.
Ashley Vets vs Easton Monday
Another blustery overcast October Sunday morning saw Easton Monday line up against the always competitive Ashley Vets. A well contested half with Ashley, clearly a very solid and competitive outfit all over the pitch. Our best efforts came down the left from Draner who hit the post only to see the ball roll back along the line and one where after a fine run he passed across the goal to Aaron, and Morgs had a good flash header, shortly followed by a powerful shot from the edge of the box going only just wide. 15 mins to go Jamie rocked up with a wonder goal as he curled it from outside the left hand side of the box into the top right hand corner, sigh of relief from the defenders who were watching us struggle for a breakthrough. We finished the remainder of the game strongly with Arron capping an excellent second half individual performance and calming the nerves with a nice finish as he burst through one on one with the keeper. The games was played in a Corinthian spirit and we wish our opponents well with the rest of the season.
Banjo Munchenbadback vs Pucklechurch FC Vets
Not sure where to start with this game!
Pucklechurch started strongly taking advantage of Banjo mistakes to lead by 2 in 10 minutes, but Banjo came back to lead 3v2 before Church equalised to go in at half time 3v3.
10 minutes into second half Puckle lead 5v3 and then a further goal made it 6v3 before Banjo hit back to make 6v4.
Puckle then made it 7 and 8 before Banjo rallied late to cut the deficit with 2 goals to end the game 6 v 8
What a game for the neutrals! A latecomer on the sidelines came at 10.40am and he missed 5 goals. In truth there were a number of chances missed for both teams and 8-6 could easily have been 14-14. It was a competitive affair with one slightly bad tackle from our behalf, but with handshakes, beers and sausage and chips after which was much appreciated.
