Welcome to another series of On This Weekend…taking a look back at the last six years' worth of games for the three OHAFC teams, starting this week with the opening series of fixtures played since the 2009/10 season.

Six Seasons Ago: October 3rd 2009

OHAFC 1st XI 4 Old Salopians 2: An excellent opening day performance and win courtesy of goals from Ed Martins (2), Piers Bourke and David Lederman

Forest 2's 4 OHAFC 2nd XI 3: The 2's suffered a narrow defeat in north London despite two goals from Bemini Soyinka and another from Ed Arghebant. Olly Hadden-Paton didn't help the cause when he was sent off for two bookable offences

Five Seasons Ago: September 11th 2010

OHAFC 1st XI 0 Old Foresters 5: A chastening opening day for the dark Blues who were put to the sword by a much fitter, better organised Forest outfit

Brentwood 3's 1 OHAFC 2nd XI 3: A great opening day win for the 2's thanks to goals from Nick Bartlett, Mike Okoigun and Stof Magrath

Four Seasons Ago: September 10th 2011

OHAFC 1st XI 0 Old Wykehamists 2: Another poor opening day defeat for the 1's, who weren't helped by having to call up Charlie Reid to play in goal just hours before kick-off

Old Cholmeleians 2's 8 OHAFC 2nd XI 1: An even worse start for the 2's who were thrashed by a rampant Cholms side. Harry Gibson's solitary strike was no consolation

Three Seasons Ago: September 22nd - October 6th 2012

Old Brentwoods 1 OHAFC 1st XI 3: an outstanding performance and win for the Club with goals from Piers Bourke, Luke de Rougemont and Charlie Stebbings securing three points at one of the traditionally harder Premier Division venues

Old Etonian 2's 1 OHAFC 2nd XI 2: A fine win for the 2's as well thanks to another brace from all-time leading scorer Bemini Soyinka

OHAFC 3rd XI 2 Old Eastbournians 0: Alex Gilbert scored twice for the 3's to complete a clean sweep of triumphs for the Club

Two Seasons Ago: September 28th 2013

Old Foresters 1 OHAFC 1st XI 1: The Harrow 1's earned a hard-fought point at Forest thanks to a second-half header from Fred Coleridge-Cole

OHAFC 2nd XI 1 Old Forest 2's 3: The 2's went behind early in unusual circumstances when stand-in 'keeper Harry Turner handled the ball having already rolled it out to himself. A second Forest goal on the half-hour gave the visitors control but new boy Anthony Beresford reduced the arrears just before the break. Sadly, the visitors sealed the points early in the second half thanks to a penalty

Old Sennockians 6 OHAFC 3rd XI 1: The 3rd XI were comfortably beaten by Sevenoaks on an atrocious pitch, Alex Jamal scoring the visitors consolation effort

Last Season: September 13th 2014

OHAFC 1st XI 1 Old Foresters 8: Not for the first time on opening day, the Old Foresters handed out a thumping to the Blues, this time in humiliating fashion. With half the squad away or injured and those present chronically unfit, the game was a distressingly one-sided affair

OHAFC 2nd XI 3 Old KCS Wimbledon 2’s 2: The Harrow 2’s began their campaign with an encouraging 3-2 win over their KCS Wimbledon counterpart thanks to second half goals from Geoff Taunton-Collins and David Igbokwe and an early penalty from Ben Kerry

Old Merchants Taylor 1 OHAFC 3rd XI 1: The Harrow 3’s, containing no fewer than seven debutants, also produced a decent opening day display, earning a 1-1 at Merchants Taylor. Ollie Feather scored the side’s goal midway through the opening period

On this Weekend…In the wider footballing world

September 12th 1992 – Nick Hornby’s seminal football book Fever Pitch is published for the first time, the opening line encapsulating the theme of the novel: ‘I fell in love with football as I was later to fall in love with women: suddenly, inexplicably, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain or disruption it would bring with it.’

September 13th 1997 - Ian Wright (Wright Wright) scored a hat-trick against Bolton at Highbury to break Cliff Bastin’s 50 year-old goalscoring record for Arsenal. Wright’s record was to be broken just eight years later however by Thierry Henry, who scored 226 goals for ‘The Arsenal’ before moving on to FC Barcelona

Also on this weekend: Andy Roxburgh resigned as Scotland manager (1993), Tony Adams admitted he was an alcoholic (1996), Chelsea sacked Gianluca Vialli as manager (2000), Graham Souness was appointed manager of Newcastle (2004), Robinho scored on his debut for Manchester City in a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea (2008)
