Tuesday 8^th November

Our girls football team played their second round match in the Hampshire Cup today at home to Blackfield. Fair Oak started strongly and put our opponents under pressure throughout with their excellent pressing and work rate. The hard work paid off as our girls found themselves two nil up at half time. There was no let up from Fair Oak after the break and a third goal was added leaving the final score at three nil. Well done to the team for a very solid all round performance!

Wednesday 9^th November

It was the turn of our boys to play their second round Hampshire Cup match today at home to Hook with Warsash. The game started brightly for Fair Oak who were rewarded for some flowing football with the first goal. However, our opponents grew into the game and used their superior physicality to force themselves back into the match and at half time, it was Hook with Warsash who held a slender one goal advantage at two goals to one. The visitors scored again early in the second half and despite almost constant pressure from the home side, Hook hit again on the break to score a fourth with virtually the last kick of the game. Despite the result, our boys should be proud of the way they played today. Well done to all of those involved.
