Continuing our look back at OHAFC fixtures played on the corresponding weekend over the previous five seasons:

Three Seasons Ago: January 21st 2012

OHAFC 2nd XI 2 Old Oundelians 0, Junior League Cup 1st Round:

The OHAFC 2nd XI began their defence of the Junior League Cup with a comprehensive demolition of an admittedly weak Oundle side. The game, played in a strong cross wind but on another excellent surface on the Phil pitches, provided Arjun Chopra’s side with the chance to forget their disappointing League form for a week and concentrate on progressing in a competition that has provided the side with fond memories in previous seasons.

Full-back Phil Berry opened the scoring after ten minutes with a close-range header following a lob from Soyinka. Soyinka himself then got on the scoresheet fifteen minutes later when he took advantage of an under-hit back-pass.

Stead scored a third straight after the break to end the game as a contest and the final half hour saw the floodgates open with Soyinka scoring three more, Arghebant a penalty, substitute Jack Robinson one and Stead ending the scoring with a ninth, his second.

OHAFC 3rd XI 2 Old Westminster 2’s 6:

No record of the team lineup or goalscorers from this 3rd XI game unfortunately, perhaps an afternoon best forgotten by the OHAFC 3’s.

Four Seasons Ago: January 22nd 2011

Old Wellingtonians 1 OHAFC 2nd XI 0:

A narrow defeat for the Harrow 2’s, on this occasion skippered by Harry Woolley, who had travelled down to Wellington College for a rare fixture against their Old Boys team. A solitary goal was enough to separate the teams despite a strong Harrow lineup including former 1’s players Jamie Waugh & Nick Warner and future 1st XI players Fred Milln, Phil Berry and Paul Lindquist.

Five Seasons Ago: January 23rd 2010:

OHAFC 1st XI 4 Lancing Old Boys 3 (aet: 3:3 after 90mins), Arthur Dunn Cup 2nd Round:

A dramatic match between two mainstays of the Premier Division for a place in the last eight of the Dunn Cup saw Harry Hoffen score an extra-time winner to send the home side through.

Ed Martins and Fred Milln scored before the break to give Harrow the upper hand but Lancing retaliated to level shortly after the break.

Freddie Brunt restored Harrow’s lead but they couldn’t hold on and a Lancing equaliser late on forced extra-time. Thankfully, Hoffen’s strike was sufficient to settle the tie in the home side’s favour.
