The third friendly match before the start of the new season was against Jurgens Sports, whom we have played against a few times in the past. This time however, it seemed that they had gathered a large squad of players for the fixture. If they have indeed signed all of those players, then I believe that they have a good chance of achieving something this year.
Opportunities were created by the Oaks team but we failed to capitalise on them. The best chance fell to Jonny Gay who decided that it was best to shoot straight at the goalie, when his compadre Nathan O'Kerin was standing on the six yard line screaming for a square pass for an easy tap in. One day our team will suddenly realise that its a team game and goals will fly in from directions !!!
It has to be said that this was the biggest physical game that Oaks have contended in during this pre-season build up. A percentage of the Oaks team got very frustrated by the aggressive nature of the opposition, and one individual was sent from the pitch. This aside, the game gave our defenders something to think about going into the next weeks game against 'Tacho' (spelling could be wrong - sorry). Another defensive test awaits the Oaks team at the Thames RFC ground next sunday @11am (10.15 meet).
