School Football Team Match Night 3

Match night 3 saw Oakwood play two games. The first was against local rivals Fairisle, who have recently won the Hampshire U10 cup.

The game was exciting with plenty of goal mouth action for both teams and some excellent football on display. Fairisle took a 0-1 lead before half time but an Oakwood equaliser, making it 1-1, after the re-start made it a very interesting game. Towards the end of the game Fairisle capitalised on an Oakwood mistake and moved 1-2 ahead and then held strong for the remaining few minutes. Oakwood could count themselves unlucky with the 1-2 defeat.

The second game was also fast paced, but the good football Oakwood had shown during the first game only made fleeting appearances. Although Oakwood were forced to come from behind again, this time Will scoring the equaliser, more mistakes were punished and Foundry Lane condemned Oakwood to a second 1-2 defeat.

Well done to our scorers: Sonny (1) and Will (1), but our clear man of the match was 'Keeper Bradley.
