No Saints 3-4 Paultons F.C.


In the opening day of the new season, No Saints were narrowly beaten by a fast-paced Paultons F.C. side. Paultons were relegated from the Championship last season but looked a strong outfit from the start.

With Phil starting alongside myself, Dave and Jamie and with Aaron in goal, Paultons took a half time lead. We had every chance with it being only 1-0 at the break but they extended their lead to 3-0 in quick succession.

An own goal that Abib claimed as his own was followed by a fourth for Paultons but the plucky No Saints fought back as Abib scored a goal himself and Phil made it a nervy finish for the funfair people. Despite Paultons missing an open goal, we could have claimed a point had it not been for the post and a dodgy referee but all in all it was a good performance in our first game in League One.

Next up are Time for Heroes, who drew 5-5 with our fellow promotion friends Red Star Five.

Round One results:

Barracuda 3-3 Kickabouts
No Saints 3-4 Paultons
Red Star Five 5-5 Time For Heroes

No Saints are bottom of the table but with two other draws in the league, we’re not too far behind!
