Bristol Downs League
Division 4

Saturday 8th September 2011 - Helios FC
Report: Colin Dawe
Result: Lose 1-2

We lost! But only after a great match, (Helios fininshed 3rd last season).

We went 1 nil up after Pat was tripped in the area and Jay converted the penalty .

At first it looked as if Helios were beatable, we kept up pressure with several chances going amiss from Scott Matt and Pat.

They equalised but we did not capitulate. Even after they went ahead we kept up the attack scott went close with a free kick . They missed a penalty but all out attack from us almost produced an equaliser from Kai.
