OWFC Newsletter No. 1607
Football Newsletters • Posted 16th January 2017
Last weeks cold weather resulted in unplayable pitches at Hayes and Hawes Down, meaning the 1s local derby against West Wickham, the 4s LOBC Semi-Final, and the 6s and 8s league games will have to wait. All OWFC teams playing on the road managed to beat the weather, so we start with the 2s who made the journey north to Old Garchonians. Predictably the weather resulted in a mud bath and despite leading 3-2 the 2s were unable to hold on, conceding two late goals.
The 3s visited Civil Service but were defeated 3-0, meaning Matt Williams was unable to close the gap on Sam James in the goal scoring charts. The 5s were in Old Boys Cup action and travelled to Old Finchleians but this was to be the end of their cup run as they lost 5-3. The 7s journeyed to Beckenham to face HSBC and were the only OWFC team to win this weekend. A 2-1 scoreline ensuring they went home with 3 valuable league points. Unfortunately neither the 3s, 5s or the 7s submitted match reports (or scorers in the case of 5s and 7s), so you will have to use your imagination as to how the goals were scored!
And so finally to the 9s. This week they were unlucky to be on the losing side in a game in which they dominated possession, created chance after chance but were caught on the break...14 (yes fourteen) times. On a serious note the opposition, Carshalton, are a new team in the division and should obviously be playing at a higher level. The search for a league point continues, could they find it in next weeks "Classico" which is also a bottom of the SAL clash, get down to Hayes for 12pm to find out!
