Aches & Pains On a Monday

I can tell I have not played for a while. That was one of the most painful walks in the morning for a long time. First it was the foot, then it seemed to he the shin!

Must be getting old. How does Jeff do it? Is he a robot?

Oaks Athletic 3 Azzuri 1

Oaks started very poorly today, and went a goal down in the first half to an Azzuri team who looked right up for this match. It was another 'game of two halves' for the Oaks though. At half time Jackson came off. His back was hurting, he missed an open goal but he didnt miss one of their players. He also hid my shoe. He really is rubbish!

Streetboy replaced the lucklustre Jackson, and keefy Boy came on to go in Left Midfield. Deano the Rhino was then placed back in defence, with Kierns taking over his role in the centre of midfield. The tactical changes were inspired, a bit like an uglier Jose Mourinho and his Chelski.

Oaks enjoyed much more possession and many more chances. Time and space allowed the team to pressure Azzuri's defence. Gollum fired in after a goal-mouth scramble, which gave Oaks the confidence and boost they needed. Jeffy Archer was again on top form, with a weaving run into the pentalty area, whereupon he was upended. It was not a dive! Streetboy finished the resulting penalty with aplomb. Two-One OAKS!

The next goal started with another Mazy run by jeffy, who spread the play out wide to nathan. Nathan chipped into the box back to Jeff who had carried on his run. No mistake from the old timer - 3-1.

The Game Was Over. This win was dedicated to Lee Gray, who is our right back Jonny Grays brother. Lee was tragically killed last week in a car accident. The Oaks team offer Jonny & family our full support and condolences. A minutes silence was held before the game out of respect for Lee.

Grays Ath Fans Get In The Mail

Check out Gollum, Chrissy Andrews and Jacko in the crowd at the Grays Ath game. Good work fellas!

Must Win Game On Sunday

Or is there?

Who are we playing? Is it home to Azzuri?

We need to get our goal difference up and a result will push us up into the Top 4. I'm guessing though because Mr Thurrock Sunday League hasn't updated the FA full time website.
