Match Report: City 2 Start With A Win

Oxford City 2 v Oxford Uni 2 - 19.10.14
7-0 Win

Thanks to the whimsical League 2 schedule, the mighty City 2 had to wait until the depths of October to begin their 2014/15 campaign. They faced off on Sunday against a typical Uni 2 side: young, bouncy and enthusiastic, but inexperienced.

City 2 got off to a steady start, and goals from Jen, Charlotte and Simon saw City race into an early 3-0 lead. Arge should have scored several more, easily running past his defender on numerous occasions, but he sportingly chose to travel, drop the ball or forget to shoot, sparing the blushes of his opposite number. Things got a little hairy towards half time: a slight dip in concentration led to some loose City passing, and some Uni interceptions, but the students were unable to capitalise.

The second half saw a superlative defensive display from City 2, with Uni struggling to get shots up and never looking like scoring. Meanwhile, Charlotte got her shooting boots on and popped in a couple of lovely goals. Jim added a penalty, and Dan (coming on as emergency sub) selfishly scored too. The final score was a fine 7-0 victory to City 2. Whoop whoop!

MVP was Fi, who had a very strong game, consistently out-collecting her marker and setting up several goals. Also, big well done to Charlotte for her splendid hat-trick. And, in general, it was a great defensive display against a fast, intercept-y side who made things difficult for us.

MVP - Fi
Scorers - Charlotte (3), Dan (1), Jen (1), Jim (1), Simon (1)
