Thursday 4th December 2008 (9pm) Flair Play v Sherwood Oak

Another cup game and there were some high hopes that after the previous week's dismal defeat, that the Oakers would possibly triumph, or at least manage a draw. After all, the previous cup games had seen the team narrowly defeated. How hard could it be?

Very apparently. In a game that was too depressingly bad to even talk about in detail the Oakers, whose performance could be called dismal at best, were thoroughly trounced by the opposing team. Granted they were another top of the league team, but still...

So the final score was 6-1 to Flair Play, leaving the players with some hard training to do.

Next game: Thursday 18th December 2008 at 8.23pm against S.G.R.B.

Thursday 27th November 2008 (9.40pm) - MEMS Power Gen v Sherwood Oak

For the Oakers this was an incredibly tough game against the considerably younger, top of the division team and the opponent’s youth and class showed from the moment the game started. With precision and ease MEMS had scored 6 goals by half time, although the Oakers did manage to pull one back with a nice shot from Asda Dave.

A hard slog by the Oakers and some brilliant goalkeeping by Darren saw the super fit MEMS kept to 9 goals, apparently a disappointment for them and a lesson in hard play for the Oakers as the score didn’t reflect the hard work they had put in.

Man of the match to my mind was definitely Darren without whose brilliant goalkeeping the score could have easily have been WELL into double figures, although all the Oakers played well given the strenuousness of the match.

Final score – 9-1 to MEMS Power Gen

Next game: Thursday 4th December 2008 at 9pm against Flair Play (cup game)
