(* Generate some Random data *)
list1 = Table[
      Flatten[
        {Table[Random[], {7}],
          If[2*Random[] > 1, "red", "green"],
          Table[Random[], {2}],
          Random[]*18}], {100}];

(* Filter the data *)
list2 = Select[
    list1,
    StringMatchQ[#[[8]], "red", IgnoreCase -> True] && #[[11]] > 9 &]
