Season: 2021-22
Chew Magna 50s vs Decliners FC
Great to be back playing at Chew’s new HQ in Pensford on a huge pitch in a lovely setting. Good game played in the right way throughout. Decliners goals from Russ (pen) and two from Toby. look forward to the return leg.
It was great to get the new season started. Decliners bossed the first half, and Chew came back into the game in the second half with a well taken goal from Shortland after a cross from Smith. But Decliners responded with a third and ran out worthy winners. Nice to enjoy drinks and a snack in the local pub. Feels like things getting back to normal. good competitive game played in in good spirit.
Banjo Munchenbadback vs AFC Downend
BANJO prevailed after coming from 3 down at half time to draw level just minutes from the end and then won 5 v 3 on penalties.Competitive and enjoyable game ended with handshakes all round and beer with grub in the local pub.
Vasco Da South Glos vs Henleaze Corinthians
First game of the season ended in defeat for Corries……having come up against a very good new side in Vasco. On a pitch whose grass was longer than a hay field (slightly inaccurate, but you get the picture) Vasco started strongly and never really gave Corries a chance. Corries were soon 1-0 down and were struggling to get a foot in the game. Before too long it was 2-0 and to makes matters worse Corries lost our keeper (Fats). Swifty took over the gloves as we went into half time 2-0 down. Second half Corries were a bit brighter and pulled a goal back through a stunning volley by James Reid. Corries played some good football in patches but soon conceded another after a defensive mistake. To close the game out Vasco scored a 4th and deservedly won the game. A good game, played in the right spirit. Good luck to Vasco in Division 8…..not sure you are going to need it!!!
