Today's game saw the Oakers play in a fast paced game against Athletico Beer Barrel with a full complement of 7 players which consisted of the safe pair of hands Darren in goal, outfield lads were Steve, Ken, Terry, Chris, Bob and Dave.
It was a game of few chances and the referee seemed to slow down the flow of the game but sadly for the second week in succession the Oakers were defeated by a single goal, the goal coming in the first half of play.
Once again the Oakers held their own and team spirit was evident again so a victory before Christmas could be on the cards. The next game sees the Oakers play Maidstone MEMS Power Gen who took the place of Maidstone Allstars and the following week sees the Oakers back on cup duty against Flair Play.
Final Score 1-0 to Athletico Beer Barrel.
Next game: Thursday 27th November 2008 at 9.35pm against MEMS Power Gen

Thursday 13th November 2008 (8.23pm) - Ten Left Feet v Sherwood Oak
The game began well enough with the optimistic Oakers playing well against the younger opposition.
A silly mistake caused the opposing team to score which left the Oakers a little frustrated. Shortly after Ten Left Feet scored another, although fine work by the team stopped them from gaining further ground.
Early into the second half Steve the chef scored an excellent goal which was later followed by an excellent penalty by Asda Dave. Unfortunately by then the opposition had managed to sneak in another goal and the final, rather disappointing score was 3-2 to Ten Left Feet.
However it was a good performance from the Oakers and something to build on for the future.

Thursday 6th November 2008 (8.05pm) - Bridgewood v Sherwood Oak
Okay sorry for the delay in posting - I've been ill and so our guest reporter Nicky P provided the match report.
First half :Took lead from good work by Perry Mason whose drive and energy were outstanding (ubiquitous)Bob Scott (of the Antarctic) showed good touches and linked the Oakers play up well.
2 soft goals late in first half gave opposition (Bridgewood) an undeserved half-time lead.
Second half:Due to plague and pestilence Oakers had only one sub and even he was ill. Came on for second half with Oxygen tank and mask, IV drip and a team of Doctors in constant attendance and bravely battled through eight minutes of pure agony (lol)
Two early goals gave opponents a comfortable lead but a late second half comeback from the battling Oakers yielded a late goal for Steve (Mary) Peters.
An encouraging performance from a brave and spirited bunch of old men.
Final score: Bridgewood 4 - Sherwood Oak 2
