Nailsea Vets 45’s vs Red Star 45s
All the previous meetings between Red Star and Nailsea are close affairs ,this was no exception .Red Star started better with some lovely passing football on the Clifton 3G pitch. Red Star took the lead from a great Gareth Corner to the back stick ,Jon buoyed up from the perfect hattrick a week earlier in Dublin put the ball in the back of the net.
The Game ebbed and flowed and Nailsea got back into it and would have drawn level and gone in front ,if it wasn’t for three world class saves from Ian the Red Star keeper .
Jon got a second goal for Red Star and it looked like they would cruise the second half but Nailsea had other ideas and stuck at it and their constant pressure produced a well deserved goal, a brilliant header from our own left back. I won’t name him but Andy ignoring shouts of keepers thought it was about time he got on the score sheet. Nailsea definitely were the better team in the second half but Red Stars defence wasn’t going to make it easy for them. Red Star got another goal after a scrum in the box where the Nailsea keeper seemed to fall over his own player. The Goal was given by the ref and all the Red Star players walked back to their own half and lined up for the restart .Two minutes past as a non existent VAR decided to overturn the decision. The last nervous 10 minutes seemed like an hour from the touch line but injuries and tiredness were taking a toll on Nailsea and Red Star saw the game out.
It was a tough game played in a reasonable spirit – Hands up- Red star were definitely responsible for the vast majority of the fouling but Nailsea were definitely better at the moaning

Nailsea Vets 45s vs Red Star 45s
An excellent closely fought match between two strong teams.
Red Star started brightly but once Nailsea got into their stride they took a comfortable 2-0 lead into half time thanks to goals from Lee Cogan and Martin Sidebottom.
Lee Cogan added a third shortly after half time but a goal back from Red Star to make it 3-1 changed the game. Red Star were then on top and pushed hard for further goals but Nailsea held firm to record an excellent victory.
