Football Team match night

Following their City Cup Semi-Final win on Monday, the school football team were back in action yesterday as they took part in a double match night with Holy Family and Fairisle. 

Oakwood played Holy Family first and started the game positively, putting together some good attacking moves and looking organised in defence. A very good, long range strike from Holy Family drew an excellent save from Tom, the Oakwood 'Keeper, but he could only push to ball to the Holy Family striker who scored from the rebound.

A deflected header and a long range free-kick put Holy Family 3-0 up in the second half and it was tough to take for the Oakwood players. The team continued to try, but the final whistle went and the 3-0 score still stood.

After a quick break, Oakwood were back on the pitch against Fairisle. The quality of football on show dipped as a large number of fouls disrupted the flow of the game and Oakwood struggled to concentrate on their passing game. Fairisle snatched a 1-0 lead and faught hard to protect it. The game finished 1-0.

Well done to all the players on what was a disappointing night for results.
