Oakwood 0 - 1 Holy Family

Team Oakwood suffered their second straight league defeat for the first time in more than 4 years when playing away to Holy Family this evening.

Following the tough game against Foundry Lane last week the team were determined to improve! The first half was a tight nip and tuck battle for possession with both teams putting in hard tackles, trying to take control. At half time the score was still 0-0. The teams continued to fight for the opening goal, but no 'clear-cut' goal scoring opportunities were created. Then, following a Holy Family corner, a scramble took place in the Oakwood box and the ball rebounded off an Oakwood leg and into the back of the net. It stayed 0-1 until the final whistle which was particularly harsh on the Oakwood players - a draw would have been a fairer result.

Well done to Leo, whose constant energy earned him the Man of the Match award.

(Just a quick note to thank parents for their understanding and support - the game was switched to Holy Family School instead of cancelling the game as Holy Family lost their transport at short notice. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.)
