Recliners Youth vs Weston Pirates

Recliners Youth Report

The rain lashed down for hours beforehand, but BAWA was deemed playable and in fact the pitch held up well for this entertaining pre-christmas game. With the slope in the first half, Recliners were largely in control, a few breakaway chances for the Pirates, but otherwise long spells of Recliners pressure. Josh gave us the lead, Rev tapped in following a scramble at a corner, then new starters Lee and Tim both finished nicely to notch on debut. Jamie added a fifth after a great move down the right after HT, but Pirates immediately hit back by bundling in a long punt from the keeper, then adding a pen after Chris was adjudged to have fouled with his follow through after a sliding tackle. Tibo scored a cracker from distance and Jamie got a second late on as the heavy pitch tired both sides. Considering the awful weather, this was a decent contest with some good football played by both teams and a treat to get a league game in before Christmas, thanks to Weston for offering to come up and get the game played.

Filton High Vets vs Weston Pirates

Filton Report:

With the autumnal weather leaving a nice dew on the playing surface it favoured the slick passing game, but unfortunately that is rare in vets football even still it was filton that applied the early pressure and after a few sighters Damien settled the early nerves with a well taken goal , this led to weston having a bit of the ball and applied their own pressure and after a well driven shot was parried away cairnes who obviously felt in a charitable mood proceeded to slice the ball into his own net which gave weston hope .
Filtons player manager determined to ease the pressure on his position by producing some lung busting runs down the flank to provide the perfect cross for Damien to bag a 2nd quickly followed by a 3rd to compete his first half hatrick indeed if filtons forwards hadn’t been eager to join in the action filton could of been out of site but unfortunately their eagerness saw them straying into an offside position.
The 2nd half started well again for filton with a brilliant effort from dobby to add his name to the score sheet with his 1st with filton seemingly in control weston managed to break out and with only the keeper to beat weston were thwarted from some excellent keeping , with this let off filton continued to probe westons goal and again kopera turned provider with an excellent cross for dobby to turn in his second and not to be outdone by damien dobby completed his hatrick with possibly the goal of the game

Filton High Vets vs Pill Utd

Filton report:
This was definitely a game of two halves with filton keen to make up for their slow start in their previous game applying most of the pressure in the first half having most of the attacking play but unfortunately squandered their chances in front of goal !
Filton were awarded a penalty but alas their search for a reliable spot kick taker goals on with a soft effort comfortably saved by the pill keeper .
In the second half pill applied the pressure and were awarded a very soft penalty and despite filton pleading with the ref to refer the decision to stockley Park he admitted he couldn’t as he’d left his head set at home.
Pill dispatched their penalty into the top corner leaving the keeper no chance , pill quickly added a second and had it not been for some athletic saves from the filton keeper they could of run away with the game .
Sam Jones filtons ever dependable full back had enough of his forwards wastfulness in front of goal and unleashed a 30 yard bullet into the top corner of pill utds goal .
Despite some more heroic goalkeeping from filtons keeper pill managed to rack up another 2 goals to leave with the spoils 4-1
