OWFC Newsletter No. 1608
Football Newsletters • Posted 23rd January 2017
After the cold weather last week cancelled all home games the sight that greeted most on Saturday morning would have had everyone fearful of further cancellations. So it proved with the early kick-off of the 8s v 9s Classico, which failed a pitch inspection. On feedback from the 2pm games the pitches didn't sound like they had thawed out much, making for difficult games.
This weeks round-up starts with the 2s AFA Cup QF against Alleyns. While they have found life in the league difficult at times they are enjoying the distraction of the cup and their run continues. Goals from Ojetunde, Piri and Kennedy ensured a 3-2 win and passage in to the semi-finals.
Another side who seem to enjoy the cup more than the league are the 4s. This week they faced Ibis Eagles at home, but their recent good form deserted them and they crashed to a 3-2 defeat. With league glory now looking unlikely they will have to rediscover their good form ahead of their upcoming cup games.
The 1s meanwhile have a new skipper in Dan Sellman, and his reign got underway with an away fixture in Barnet against NUFC Oilers. After one of the worst 45 minutes in recent memory the 1s rallied, and with 7 minutes to go a change in formation paid dividends with two goals. Another win for the 1s whose next game is the AFA Cup QF.
You'll be hard pressed to find many people happier than Matt Ballard after this weekends fixtures. He finally managed to grab his first win for the 3s after their trip to Parkonians saw them win 4-1 in a game that saw Matt Williams score in 6 seconds.
Elsewhere the 5s beat Merton 4-2 away from home, the 7s lost 2-1 at home to Civil and the 6s were part of a goal-fest, drawing 5-5 with Salesians. I'll be impressed if anyone predicted that on Togger! Below is the link to this weeks newsletter and the list of fixtures for 28th January.
