On what looked like a wet cool evening developed into a pleasant evening down at the Oval. With all four houses teams being fairly organised we got down promptly to the Oval sorting out the goals, pitches, goalkeepers, teams and umpires - Bush, Walker, Plimley and Elias.
With the stage set we started with the opening matches both close affairs with Barber beating Dodds 1-0, Eastwood the scorer and then in the second game Lever scraped home 2-1 against Hodgson with Morris having a promising game in goal. Goals in that game for Lever by Ollerhead and Kayley but in reply Parsons got one back.
In the second round of matches there were plenty of goals with Barber beating Hodgson 2-0 with goals from Eastwood and Gill. In the other game between Lever and Dodds there were 8 goals and the goal of the night a lob from Farrington over the oncoming Groome. The final score was 5-3 to Lever. Goals from Ollerhead (2), Dennis (2) and Hill rounded things off!
This brought the deciding games between Barber and Lever and Dodds and Hodgson. Both games brought drama but the great performances from Dennis and Ollerhead enabled Lever to come out on top against Barber 2-0 and take the house crown with 3 victories!! Well Done
In the second game a closely fought match Hodgson went in front after some hesitation from Hughes allowed Maclaren to finish with aplomb! But Dodds fought back and some good passing and play from Farrington and Edge saw them draw level and Edge sealed the 2-1 victory.
I would like to thank all players, goalkeepers, captains, the four umpires and to Mr Thomason for you time effort and the quality of play that brought about such a good competition. Well done to Lever who finished winners with three victories, Barber close in second followed by Dodds and Hodgson picked up the wooden spoon.
