Clevedon Town 0 Bashley 0
Clevedon and Bashley opened the 2008/09 season with their third consecutive goal-less draw as ten man Clevedon hung on for a well deserved point.
The match started with a one minute silence for Chris Hatwood who sadly passed away during the close season with the game being watched by many of his friends and family.
A quiet first half saw neither side create many chances despite some attractive approach play, but it was home goalkeeper Danny Greaves who impressed with several fine saves.
Second-half continued in the same vein with Clevedon settling down and passing the ball very well in their first match. However, as with the first-half, very few clear cut chances were created. Josh Brigham who started the game up-front was back in his defensive role when he was harshly shown a red card following two yellows and this upset Clevedon’s rhythm as they were forced to reorganise, however, the game ended goal-less with neither side looking likely to break the deadlock.
To summarise this was a good performance by Clevedon and they played some attractive football throughout the game, sharpness in front of goal and the final ball will hopefully come with time, but this was a promising start for what is virtually a completely new Clevedon side.
