Oaks played well for about the first 20 minutes and could have been six-nil up in that time had they taken their chances. At three nil up (Jacko 2, Sharpy 1), the concentration seemed lacking as the opposition scored two soft goals before half time. Oaks had the wind with them in the first half, so we knew that the second half would test the resolve of the players. It was tough playing against the wind and the opposition clawed another goal back, and at this point, it really could have gone either way. Jacko really put in the effort with a long run and shot, which the number 12 of the opposition accidentally volleyed into his own net. So, they actually scored four goals, we only scored three, and we've gone through to the next round! It's a funny old game isn't it?
