Following in the grand tradition of teams like Man City losing against Brighton earlier in the week, Sherwood Oak FC last night lost to bottom of the league team S.G.R.B.
In a rather uninspiring game, the first four minutes were hopeful with the Oakers keeping the score even at 0-0, but then a slip in the defence allowed the rival team to score. A confused and somewhat disappointing strategy from the Oakers saw the opposing team with their considerably younger players given too many chances with the ball and despite a valiant effort from the players and a sterling performance by the Oakers goalkeeper (definitely the man of the match) who saved at least fifteen attempts on the goal the final score was a saddening 7-0 to S.G.R.B.
It is tempting to put the disappointing performance down to the fact that the team hadn't played for two weeks due to last week’s bye, but in reality the strategy was wrong and hopefully identification of the problems and a new logical strategy will assist in providing a stronger team for future games.
Next week’s cup game against the first division team The Hornets should be a good testing ground for the team’s new tactics.
Alas no photos this week as the team’s official photographer decided to take the evening off and have an early night!
