The 1st XI took on West Fulham FC in the SSEC League Senior Cup Final today.

The Ruts went ahead through a superb drilled strike from Billy Liffen, although in fairness WFFC had a fair few good chances in the period, which they failed to capitalise on. Likewise the OR’s also had further opportunities too. However, the Interval arrived with the OR’s 1 – 0 ahead.

The 1st XI’s League Senior Cup Final versus West Fulham FC is this coming Saturday the 6th of May at Whyteleafe FC. Kick Off is at 3.00pm.
