14/3/15: On Saturday, the Men’s 2nds travelled to nearby Keynsham to face local rivals, Keynsham A, a team fighting for survival against relegation in 10th place, the exact same scenario that Mendip A were facing this time last season. How things can change in one season, with the away side now currently sitting comfortably in […]
Ladies 2nd XI 4 vs. Cheddar 1st XI 6
14/3/15: With the return fixture earlier in the season ending in a heavy 6 : 0 defeat, Mendip could certainly take heart that only 2 goals separated them this time. With just the bare 11 players Mendip dominated play in the 1st half and there were plenty of goals for the home crowd to cheer. […]
Ladies 1st XI 3 vs. Gillingham 1st XI 2
14/3/15: Mendip moved a step closer to safety in East Division with a hard-fought win over Gillingham on Saturday. The visitors conceded two early goals, and were forced to draw on all of their experience to get back into contention. Fortunately for Mendip, the inimitable double act of Hannah Bartholomew and Charlotte Lucas, both returning from maternity leave, […]
Ladies 2nd XI 3 vs. Keynsham 4
7/2/15: Following on from the high of last weeks’ victory, Mendip’s low came in the 2nd half of this match away to Keynsham. For much of the 1st half the visitors matched the well drilled, strong Keynsham side and capitalised on good attacking play. They went into the break with a 2 goal lead thanks […]
Ladies 1st XI 2 vs. Weymouth 4
7/2/15: Mendip slid to just 2 points outside the relegation zone on Saturday, after falling to defeat against second-placed Weymouth. A bright first quarter saw the returning Louise Forster making some great interceptions from centre back and April Callow working hard in midfield, but Mendip lacked a clinical finish in the opposition D. Weymouth then […]
Men’s 2nd XI 5 vs. Firebrands D 3
28/2/15: Last Saturday, the Mendip Men’s 2nds travelled to Failand, Bristol, for a mid-table clash against Firebrands D. Following the defeat during the week previous, the 2nds were determined to get things back on track and to continue their pressure on the now fourth-placed South Gloucestershire A, who were only one point ahead. However, Firebrands […]
Men’s 1st XI 7 vs. Shepton Mallet A 1
28/2/15: On Saturday Mendip finally clinched promotion with a comprehensive victory over local rivals Shepton Mallet A. The visitors started well and perhaps had the better of the opening exchanges with their front 2 busy working the line and the Mendip full-backs had to be fully alert to avoid being dragged out of position on […]
Ladies 2nd XI 6 vs. Mid Somerset 3
28/2/15: Mendip mastered a massive upset in Brunel League Division 1 with an emphatic victory over table topping and previously unbeaten this season, Mid Somerset. Mendip expected a tough encounter and a largely defensive game but the 1st half was anything but. The hosts applied lots of the early pressure playing good passing and moving […]
Ladies 1st XI 1 vs. Wootton Bassett 4
28/2/15: This fixture proved to be a real “game of two halves”, with Mendip more than matching their hosts in the first half, only to crumble under pressure in the second. Wootton Bassett took the lead within 5 minutes, taking advantage of a disorganised Mendip defence to slot the ball home from wide on the […]
Mens 1st XI 1 vs. Weston-Super-Mare 3
21/2/15: Before the match Mendip were under no illusions that they would face a very tough opponent as they travelled to free scoring, table topping Weston-Super-Mare on Saturday but within minutes of the start they were left with absolutely no doubt that a long and arduous afternoon lay ahead. The hosts went full throttle right […]
