Hartswood Stars (Home)

Ongar started well this week with a couple of early chances before the Hartswood stars had a succession of corner kicks, The Blues were never really under threat but could not clear their lines, after 7 corners the Ongar team broke away and with Nari and Lewis linking up well, with Nari putting the ball in the back of the net, proving his strength and determination against a fairly solid defence. Half Time 1-0 Second half started with football being played up and down the pitch, Hartswood had a good on target shot well saved by Ben "the cat", the game continued with Ongar attacking, Nari through and tripped just outside the box.
Ben F places the ball, steps up and strikes the ball cleanly into the top corner, giving the Hartwood's keeper no chance.

Lewis came close when he hit the woodwork which would have finished off the game for the stars.

Ongar made a change taking off Lewis, in the Benitez style rotation system, bringing on the new signing Jacob who came to the B team for an undisclosed fee. Insiders believe the fee was as much as a packet of wine gums and half a can of Coke.... but this cannot be substantiated. An injury late in the game to the Captain Owen resulted in him being taken off and replaced with Lewis. Nari finished the game by making a few storming runs through the Hartswood defence claiming his title as man of the match.
