Match Report ~ Bristol Uni 4 – 2 BAC 12/01/13

The playing of this match was in doubt as the Uni wished to rearrange as they only had 4 players. Miraculously overnight they managed to magic up 7 more, so to a very cold and windy Coombe Dingle it was. The warm up run took a detour past Tinny and Sally’s very flash new Mini Cooper then it was on with the game.
Match Report ~ BAC 3 – 4 Yate2 05/01/13
After all the fun and festivities of the Xmas and New Year period, BAC headed straight into a re-arranged league match against Yate 2 this week.
BAC started the game well with some early pressure and a number of short corners but unfortunately this didn’t result in any goals. With BAC playing high up the field, a break from Yate saw them win a short corner and a goal, 0-1. BAC pressure continued and despite a number of opportunities, BAC were caught on the break and a very quick Yate broke away and scored another, 0-2.
Match Report ~ BAC2 2 vs Thornbury2 3

So BAC2 were home at Abbeywood ready to fend off Thornbury2. No one could remember the score the last time the 2 teams met and it seemed to get worse the more people you asked, from a 4-1 defeat to 6-0, then up to 7-0 and 7-1. It was actually 4 – 0 on 13th October, but our exaggerated memories served to concentrate the minds of the players and make them determined to take their revenge, even whilst nursing 3 hangovers.
So with the warm-ups and briefings complete, the whole team of 13 knew what was expected of them and where they had to be, that was until the umpire was ready to start the match. The thorough umpires conducted a quick headcount and advised that BAC2 were only fielding 10 players. A moment later and Lou was match ready and running on to assist the team in a fast opening to the game.
