FJ TOTW MATCHDAY 12

FJC News - November 13th 2016

This was the toughest week yet in terms of choosing who should win the FJ TOTW award. Swiss Kickers put in an impressive performance to beat Barbarians, Guts & Real Celts both beat Division 2 teams in the Cup as did this weeks winners. 

Oakwood Clash beat Musketeers in a 10-9 shootout thriller. Let me set the scene for you. The match had been delayed by 25 minutes due to delays on the Keiyo line. After a great 2-2 draw, Nick the Ref blew the final whistle and had 8 minutes to complete the shootout. No problem he thought. He was not expecting the first 18 penalties to be scored. Midway through this penalty shootout the 5pm chime had rang and some High School kids were ready to use the pitch. They were quite happy to watch this thrilling shootout till it's climax. The Musketeers keeper slipped on their 10th PK and missed meaning Clash went through to the Cup 2nd Round. 
Not quite the 18-17 shootout score between Geckoes and Vags 3 years ago but a good attempt. Purely for their skills from 12 yards Oakwood Clash have safely won this weeks award.
