This weeks fixture list started on Tuesday as the 1s travelled to Banstead Athletic in the Surrey Premier Cup. Despite the freezing weather and ice rink of a pitch the fixture went ahead. The 1s went 2-0 up and had chances to kill the game, but an upset wasn't to be and Banstead turned things around in the second half, winning the game 5-2.

On to the weekends games and the 1s were once again in cup action, this time in the AFA. Sinjuns Grammarians were the vistors to Hayes and the 1s made hard work of breaking them down. The goal eventually came in the 85th minute with schoolboy Piri Pathnanathan popping up in the box to secure a 1-0 win and a place in the hat for the next round, much to the relief of Mark Simmons after his second half penalty miss.
Elsewhere the 2s took on West Wickham in the local derby. Despite leading on three seperate occasions it wasn't to be and they finished up on the wrong end of an 8 goal thriller, losing 5-3. There was better news for the 3s who, pumped by the Christmas songs, defeated Merton 3-2 away from home. The 4s kept up their good form, beating Ibis Eagles 3-0 with club top scorer Sam James bagging a brace taking his total for the season to 12. The only other win for OWFC this weekend came from the 6s trip to South Bank Cuaco, goals from Scott and Phakey ensuring a 2-1 win. Unfortunately for the 5s, 7s, 8s and 9s there was little joy, as they were beaten 1-2, 1-9, 1-3 and 0-1 (thanks to a dubious offside decision).
