Results Round Up – 11^th / 12^th March 2023.

The Ruts were left to rue a trio of close defeats this weekend, all of which involved penalties.

The 1st XI were very unfortunate to lose 3 – 2 at Home to AFC Ewell. The Ruts fell 2 goals behind in the second half before deservedly levelling thanks to a brace from MOTM Billy Liffen. However, a debatable last-minute Penalty cost the OR’s dearly as they ultimately lost 3 -2.

The ‘A’ Team also lost 3 – 2 as they bowed out of the League Cup to NPL ‘A’ FC Robert Quiqley and Alex Hammond scored the Ruts Goals. Alas, the Ruts missed the chance to level from the spot late on in this cup match.

The Sunday XI suffered a rare defeat, as they lost 2 – 0 at Poplar Road to SW Lions. Despite this disappointing defeat, the lads remain top of the table after reaching the summit the previous weekend. SW went ahead from the Spot and then added a late second as the OR’s were chasing the game.
