Aylestone Park v Oadby Owls Snowys  - 2nd October 2011 (Group Game)

Snowys Sunk by Set Pieces

On a hot Summers afternoon in October the Snowys sunk to a stuttering defeat. Within the first minute the Snowys were rocked by a breakaway goal which looped over Yuvraj Bhuhi’s head. The Snowys then played good possession football sporadically but did not threaten the Aylestone Park goal. In the second half Luca Galoppi and Reece Watchorn  broke up numerous Aylestone Park attacks with great well timed tackles and propelled Oadby forward with useful balls into the channels. Harry Hawkins who switched to centre midfield was industrious and had a couple of shots just wide. Louie Hart worked tirelessly on the right wing. The Snowys conceded a second goal from a well taken corner which bounced around in the box. The third was conceded direct from a free kick and the fourth directly from an Oadby goal kick. The Snowys had some good passing interplays late on in the game but failed to get a consolation goal.

The Snowys continued in the same vein in the second half and scored a further six goals from Joshua Shenton, Lennon Orton, Kaden Stokes (2), Theo Tatham-Grant, and Sammy Braybrooke.

Oadby Owls Snowys v Braunstone Trinity – 28th August 2011 (Group Game)

Patchy Snowys Poach Draw

On a beautiful Summers morning the Snowys got the season off to a slow start. Facing newcomers Braunstone Trinity with a depleted squad the Snowys looked pensive and ponderous. They threatened early down the wings through Joshua Shenton and Harry Hawkins but both found the Braunstone defence determined and resolute. Braunstone’s occasional attacks were stifled by some fine tackling and organisational play from Luca Galoppi and Reece Watchorn in defence. The Snowys had the most notable chances of the half, Harry Hawkins had a goalbound freekick saved and other strikes from Theo Tatham-Grant and Joshua Shenton ricocheted off defenders and away from goal. At halftime it remained goalless.

Braunstone posed more of a threat in the second half, assisted by the wind which made for a pulsating entertaining half. The Snowys lacked drive and conceded a close range goal after the ball meandered across the penalty area. This injected some urgency into the Snowys play and they were rewarded with an equaliser when Louie Hart broke up play in the centre circle spread the play right to Harry Hawkins who took one touch and unleashed a ferocious shot into the far corner of the net and celebrated Tarzan style, taking his shirt off and beating his chest.

Player of the Day: Reece Watchorn
