Results Round Up – Saturday 21st September 2019.

Posted on September 21, 2019 by ORAFC

The 1st XI suffered a 3 – 1 defeat at Lyne FC. The Ruts lead at the break courtesy of a Billy Liffen goal. However, Lyne turned things around in the second half. Zak Graham was the OR’s MOTM.

The 2nd XI did not have a match this Week.

The 3rd XI drew 3 – 3 at Home to Worcester Park ‘A’ FC. The Ruts lead 3 times and were pegged back on each occasion. The Ruts goals came via Mark Todd, Jake Searles and Paul Whitthread. Jake Searles was the OR’s MOTM

The very youthful 4th XI suffered a hefty 11 – 1 defeat Away to Motspur Park Res FC. However, New Manager Chris Bain was upbeat and philosophical, stating ‘the big plus was the lads never felt sorry for themselves and offered 100% commitment’. Apparently several deflected goals and an unjust penalty set the tone early on. Scorer TBC, MOTM for the Ruts was Matt O’Flaherty.

Best wishes to the Junior Teams tomorrow.
