Away - Oxted School RH8 0AD

Friendly

Won 6 - 4

Cavaliers win ten goal thriller!

A storming performance in the second half saw us overturn a half time deficit and defeat our Div 1 opponents.  With both teams short of players, we played ten versus ten, and an open game ensued.  We started well and established a two goal lead, but then conceded three in quick succession in a few moments of madness before half time.  There followed probably our best half of the season, certainly from an attacking perspective.  We equalised soon after the restart, Kieran smashing in the rebound afrer Greg's shot came back off the post.  James then ran half the length of the pitch down the right and squeezed it past their keeper with the assistance of a defender, and shortly afterwards Greg got his second from Barry's crossfield pass.  5-3.  They reduced the deficit from a short corner, but we restored our two goal lead a few minutes from time, and finished the stronger side.  Excellent performances all round, and particular thanks to Kieran for overcoming a knee injury and playing such a decisive role in the game.
