The Club’s tough campaign and severe shortage of any good fortune was in full swing today as the 1st XI went down 3 – 2 at home in a close & very competitive match against Puretown. Bezza gave the Ruts the lead twice and the OR’s lead 2 – 1 at the interval. The visitors levelled from a penalty and snatched a late winner in the closing stages of injury time. The Ruts put in a decent shift and deserved a point for their efforts. Alas, the footballing gods thought otherwise.

The 2nd XI apparently lost and we are awaiting confirmation of the score.
