The 2023-24 season returned, with Sherston Town Vets hosting Reclinosaurs on a very warm and wet September morning. Sherston started with some good passing football, working the ball up the pitch for early chances and finding themselves 3-0 up in the first 25mins having pounced on some loose balls in the box. Reclinosaurs fought back and brought it back to 3-1 with an excellent run and finish from #7.  Another Sherston goal made it 4-1 at the break.

The second half was a closer affair, but two quick goals from Sherston put them in control at 6-1. Then the crowd were treated to a 35 yard own goal from Sherstons player-manager, finding the bottom corner of the net with his misplaced back pass.

Time for one more goal, for the game to finish 7-2.

Thanks to all for their efforts and commitment in a well-spirited match.

 

Reclinosaurs report:

Sherston were a cut above today, playing some superb pass and move football with a couple of outstanding individuals making everything tick for them. After a 7-1 mauling here last season, we expected a tough morning, but this Sherston side was a much slicker outfit and the aging Reclinosaurs did well to keep the score below cricket levels after an appalling first 20 minutes. Game played in excellent spirit with a very good referee and wounds salved by a couple of pints at the Rattlebone after. Good luck for the season!
