OWFC Newsletter No. 1603
Football Newsletters • Posted 12th December 2016
8 OWFC Fixtures this weekend provided 4 wins, 3 defeats and a draw.
We start our round-up with the 3s and 4s. These teams are home to the clubs top scorers, Sam James (14) and Matt Williams (12). Both players grabbed two goals this weekend, with the 3XI and Matt Williams defeating Old Finchleians 4-3 away from home in the League, and the 4XI and Sam James defeating Clapham Old Grammarains 5-0 to progress to the next round of the LOBC.
The 1XI are beginning to turn Hayes back in to a fortress. This weekend they avenged their 4-1 defeat against Old Owens, beating them 2-0. That makes it two clean sheets on the bounce and a healthier position in the league. The other OWFC win came from the 6s long trip to Essex. They took on an undefeated Old Beaonians side in the AFA Cup, just hanging on for a 3-2 win.
In the depths of the SAL league structure the 8s left Dulwich with a point after drawing 3-3 with an Alleyn's side who fielded 3 different goalkeepers. While the 9s made the journey to Bank of England only to be defeated 6-0, leaving them bottom of the table and still waiting for a first league point.
The other two defeats meant elimination from the cups for the 2s and 5s. The 2s were beaten 3-2 by H.A.C. in the SKAFA while the 5s lost 3-0 to Shene Old Grammarains in the LOBC.
This weeks newsletter is certainly worth a read, with reports from 7 of the 8 games played. Also please remember that the OWA AGM takes place this Tuesday (13th Dec), the agenda is in the newsletter.
