Despite having to start the game with 7 players due to some logistical issues on the way to the ground, OFC put on a much improved display on the pitch and in the eyes of the referee and ran out as 2-0 winners against a strong Elstead side. Tom BL grabbed both our goals in the second half and there were excellent performances across the pitch from a much changed OFC line up. Jamie B got the man of the match award from a tireless display up front.

It may be a bit later than normal (due to DreamWeaver issues) but the report from our last match against Elstead is now posted HERE

Next up for Oatlands is a home fixture against Gomshall. Gomshall beat us with a 1-0 victory in our first game of the season, so this will be another tough fixture in series of tough games in February and March.

OFC are left to count the cost of last Saturday's match against Cobham. As a result of our inability to keep our heads and provide the referee with the respect he deserved, 2 of our players now have lengthy bans plus whopping personal fines to pay the FA. In addition, despite only having picked up only 2 previous bookings this season, such was the lack of discipline on Saturday, the club is now dangerously close to having to pay a club fine for accumulating too many disciplinary points. This sort of thing cannot happen again.

New players are always welcome at OFC. We are an FA Charter Standard Club with FA qualified coaches, superb matchday / training facilities and a great set of regular supporters. On the pitch we have a good miixture of youth and experience and our exploits are reported in the local paper most weeks.
