The 2012/13 season was in danger of ending on a sour note as the Oaks found themselves 2-0 down at half time to relegated Greyhound. This wouldn't have been especially disappointing as it was Milesy's last game in charge. Fortunately his half time rant did the trick, and we rallied in the second half to come out 5-2 winners.
Subs: Browne, Nick, Sharpy
The come back started early in the second half when Ryan linked up with H on the left, and his cross was blocked by an arm. It was debatable as to whether the infringement was inside the area, but who cares! Dale calmly slotted home: 1-2.
Parity was restored when Deano's headed clearance from a corner fell to Ryan. His ball up the line was collected by Dale, who sprinted to the bye line before finishing from a tight angle: 2-2.
Ryan was again involved in the third, and as this time he went from provider to finisher. His sweetly struck dipping volley from outside the box on the left was a definite contender for goal of the season: 2-3.
The Oaks were now in full flow, and Ryan collected his second goal of the game as he coolly slotted home after being put through by Bunny: 2-4.
Greyhound were well and truly beaten by this point, and it showed as no one moved to prevent Bunny sneaking in to power a header past the keeper from Nathan's long throw: 2-5.
It was great to finish a long tough season on a high, and to give the likes of Milesy, Deano and Nathan the send off they deserve for their outstanding service and dedication to the Oaks over the years.
