OWFC Newsletter No. 1609
Football Newsletters • Posted 30th January 2017
There were very few positives to take from these weeks results, other than the 1s unbeaten run continuing for another week as they weren't in action. Of the 8 games played OWFC could only manage to secure two league points, so we start our round up there.
The 5s secured a 1-1 draw away at Civil Service (scorer not reported) which boosts there chances of survival and lifts them further from the bottom of the table. The 8s were also in action against Civil Service and played out a 3-3 draw, with James Stride grabbing two goals. The point see them leapfrog South Bank Cuaco who now find themselves sandwiched between the 8s and 9s in the league.
Perhaps the greatest disappointment of the weekend revolved around the OWFC teams in cup action. The 4s failed to progress in their London Old Boys Cup semi-final, losing 1-0 to Shene Old Gramarians, and the 6s crashed out of the AFA Cup losing 4-2 to Polytechnic.
Two other sides also faced Polytechnic. The 2s returned to League action after last weeks AFA Cup win but were unable to continue the momentum, going down 3-1 after some costly individual errors. The 7s also lost out to Poly 4-3 with goals from Gunnell, Gowtham and "Leighton"proving not to be enough.
Finally Merton got the better of the 3s, running out 2-0 winners and the 9s poor run of form continued with an 8-1 defeat by Salesians.
Hopefully next week is an improvement with some positive results to report on. Below is the newsletter and list of fixtures for the 4th February.
