Weekend Results: August 12-13
Six of our Adult teams in action this weekend; Season opener for our U23’s, third Combined Counties match for our first team, and the Ladies, A’s, Sunday and Vets were all in preseason action.
After Tuesday evenings draw away to Woodley, and that last minute Woodley equaliser, it was our First team’s turn to snatch points in the final moments of the game on Saturday… taking all three points from FC Deportivo Galicia away.
Early goals from Sam Head, put us 2-0 up with just eleven minutes played. Galicia replied in the 30th and 32nd minute to level things up before the break. Four minutes after half time Bradley Timson restored the lead; Galicia relied once more in the 66th minute, and that seemed to be the ned of the scoring. Roll on to the 96th minute; player of the match, Sam Head completed his hattrick and the win with a finely taken penalty. FINAL SCORE: 3-4. NEXT UP: Bedfont FC (A) Tues. Highlights can be found here.
