OWFC on 18th March 2017: W3 D1 L5 GF11 GA21 GD-10

OWFC were searching for 2 cup wins in 2 weeks as the 2XI went after the big one, the AFA Cup. However it wasn't to be, 2 disallowed goals for Wilsonians meant the game went to extra-time, where Notts scored two goals to clinch the trophy. Despite the defeat the 2XI can be extremely proud of their cup run as they have struggled for consistency in the squad this year. They must now focus on climbing the league as they currently sit bottom of the table.

The 1XI bounced back from their first league defeat since November, beating local rivals West Wickham 2-1. Gravensande, who scored for the AFC Rep Side in the Argo Cup in mid-week (video here), scored the winning goal with 5 mins to go.

Elsewhere there were also wins for the 3s and 4s. The 3s beat Carshalton in the Spring Cup 1-0 with a goal from Kan, while the 4s beat league leaders Polytechnic 3-1.

The 5s, 6s and 8s all suffered defeats this week, while the 9s suffered two defeats in a double header against Merton.

All the match reports can be found in this weeks newsletter, below. On Togger this week there is no game for the 7s (again) and the 9s, so predictions for England vs Lithuania and Scotland vs Slovenia please.
