2s thump Forest in entertaining season opener

23 Sep 2019

The OHAFC 2nd XI produced a superb display on a scorching afternoon in northeast London to thrash their Old Foresters counterparts 6-3 in their first League game of the season.

The Blues dominated the first half and were clinical in attack: Andres Hutchinson scored the first two goals, Alexi Pittalis added a brace of headers from set-pieces and further efforts from Tristan David and Pablo Hutchinson ensured the visitors enjoyed an unlikely 6-1 lead at half-time.

Playing uphill and into a stiff breeze in the second half, the Blues held on well, restricting their hosts to long-range efforts and little else. Forest did pull a goal back via a dubious penalty, but then had to wait until just a few minutes from time before scoring an inconsequential third.
