Thursday 30th October 2008 (10.05pm) - Ditton Utd v Sherwood Oak (Cup Game 2)

It looked like a desperate situation with several of the Oakers sidelined by injury leaving the bare minimum of players available for the evening’s match. With the prospect of a tough game against the much younger Ditton Utd, hopes weren’t running high but a steady and determined attitude by the five players made the game a much closer fought battle than it could have been.

The Oakers played well, very well with Steve and Ken taking defence, Bob and Terry taking the forward positions and Steve the chef stepping in at short notice to do a great job in goal. Despite Ditton Utd having many attempts on the goal they managed to keep the opposing team to a 0-0 draw throughout the whole game, even managing a few shots at goal themselves.

Unfortunately a lucky final shot some three seconds before the end of the game gave the opposition an undeserved goal leaving the final score at 1-0 to Ditton Utd, a disappointing and bitter end to a well played game.

Next Game: Thursday 6th November 2008 at 8.05pm against Bridgewood
