All Blacks 6 - 1 Yellow Bellys
Witneys 4th & 5th Team Squads met for their last pre-season friendly on Sat 04 Oct 08. As the first league game of the season finds the 4th & 5th playing each other, the teams were mixed up to avoid a divisive confidence-sag from one or the other team! At half time the score was 1 - 1, with good goals at either end by Owen Collins (All Blacks) and Nick August (Yellow Belly), looking like a good team split.
The second half saw a change of pace from the All Blacks. Olly Richardson, whose Badminton commitments stops him from playing in higher teams, caught the scoring bug on a well worked short corner. Once he started he just couldn't stop, ending with 4 goals, with one other from Captain Ben. A Yellow Belly goal from Liam Frost didn't stem the tide. There were some notable performances from Nick Dunnington (new man who will, I am sure, play for higher teams soon) Jake Crowley in defence and Ben Larbalestier. All told, it was a good, even, game making next weeks fixture even more mouth-watering!
