1st XI 2-1 Woking Click here for match photos In any campaign there are matches to remember and ones which are quickly forgotten. This hard-fought tussle with relegation-threatened Woking definitely falls into the latter category for players and umpires alike. For much of the first-half we were slightly below par and Woking, who had delivered out only pre-season defeat, did not look a

The 1st XI stay top of Premier 2 after a 3-2 win at Banbury and the 3rd XI and Ladies end recently poor runs with draws. But the 2nd XI stay rooted to the bottom of Surrey 1 after their eighth straight loss. Old Kingstonians 1-1 Ladies After one point from seven matches despite some heartening performances, it was important for the Ladies not to lose against a side with only one loss in six.

The 1st XI stayed top of Premier 2 with a gritty 3-2 win over Tulse Hill where our skill on counter-attacks, goals from Jay Harman, Paddy Harman and  Louis Holmes, and some good goalkeeping, ensured we did enough to secure the three points.  The 2nd XI went down 0-2 at Woking, the 3rd XI 1-4 at home to Addiscombe and the Ladies lost 1-2 to Croydon. The Hamstrings dropped their first

The 1st XI continued their impressive start with a tense 5-4 over Maidstone but an availability nightmare meant weakened sides and defeats for the 2nd XI and 3rd XI. The Ladies lost 0-3 at Richmond but the old boys held their ends up with the Hamstrings beating St Albans 2-0 and the Barnstormers being denied a win with a late equaliser. Jay Harman adds the fifth goal  1st XI 5-4

Match reports for the first full week of the league season Ladies 2-0 Old Georgians OC ladies had a tough start to the season - it seemed like a battle before we even set foot on the pitch. Despite our best efforts to fanatically recruit last minute players, we ended up with a small but eager team of 11. The game itself was tough – Old Georgians wanted the win as much as we did and the first

The highlight of the weekend was the win for the 2nd XI which secured them promotion into Surrey One with a game remaining, the winner-takes-all game against Spencer Saints a feisty affair.  The 1st XI extended their winning sequence but the wretched form at the bottom end of the club continued Wanderers 1-4 1st XI As the famous fisherman’s rhyme goes, “When the wind is in the East, ‘tis

The 1st XI clinched promotion with four matches remaining with a 6-1 win at Epsom, the only side to have taken a point off them all season. The Ladies' lingering hopes of promotion ended when they went down 0-2 to likely champions Tulse Hill but the 2nd XI's 6-0 drubbing of London Edwardians put them on the edge of a promotion slot.

Tony Rogers, OCHC legend, writes: A little while ago  I foolishly complained that there had been no official OCHC get-together for a while, and whilst the idea of a formal Quinquennial dinner was mooted it was felt that a Saturday lunch at TD to coincide with a Ist XI game and a vet's game would be preferable - not least to put money over the Club bar.
