Whiteside 1 Oaks Athletic 3

During a tough first half Oaks conceded a headed goal to the shortest player on the pitch. With the wind against Oaks first half, they worked hard and went in at half time one nil down. With the wind, and the game still to play for, Oaks brought the game to Whiteside (who did only have ten men, one of those was playing with a broken rib..).
A Jackson free kick was whipped in from the right and O'Kerin rose like a salmon and headed the ball into the top right corner to level the scoring.
Oaks made the most of the blustery conditions by launching their throw-ins into the oppositions box at every given opportunity. This proved a very good tactic and O'Kerin fired home a volley in at the near post after a defensive error by Whiteside. Claims for offside were waved away by the referee and the goal was given.
Yet another long throw provoked a scramble in the Whiteside box, with Rick firing a shot directly at Jonny Horwood, which happened to deflect straight to Gollum. Gollum finished in style by placing a volley into the roof of the net.
With most of the top teams in the division now having lost four games, this result throws the league wide open. It's there for the taking, Come on Oaks !!!!

Jonny Horwood
