Feltham Youth 2 Oxshott Royals Rebels 2
An Oxshott team weakened by the absence of key players, injury and illness had to dig deep and show all their never-say-die spirit to scrape a draw against the league leaders.
Feltham started brightest and had a number of threatening breaks before opening the scoring in the 6th minute.
Royals’ prospects took another knock 10 minutes later as a well-organised Feltham, constantly pressing, extended their lead.
Oxshott continued to look vulnerable, but a Feltham goalkeeping error let them back into the game five minutes later. Under pressure from El Fadel, the keeper fumbled the ball and the Oxshott player slotted the ball into the net to reduce Feltham’s lead to a single goal at halftime.
Royals continued to struggle at the start of the second period but then the side’s legendary fighting spirit kicked in and they threw all they had at Feltham.
It looked like it was all to be in vain, however, until two minutes from time when Feltham failed to clear a Tough free kick and Bryant poked the ball home for the equaliser.
Man of the match was Dunsire who battled and chased for the full 80 minutes.
