Today we take a look back at the last six years' worth of games for the three OHAFC teams on this weekend...

Six Seasons Ago: October 24th 2009

Old Kings Wimbledon 3 OHAFC 1st XI 2: The 1st XI fell to a narrow 3-2 defeat after making a shocking start in south London. Three goals down inside half an hour, the visitors rallied to score twice in a second half they dominated. Freddie Brunt scored an excellent goal and Lederman converted from the spot following a handball but despite hitting the woodwork twice and coming close on several other occasions the Blues couldn’t find the equaliser their play deserved.

Old Aldenhamians 2’s 5 OHAFC 2nd XI 2: The Harrow 2’s were well-beaten in north London thanks to some sloppy defending contributing to the concession of five goals. A first-half effort from Bemini Soyinka made the score 2-1 to the hosts at the break but in the second half Aldenham raced into a 5-1 lead, debutant goalkeeper Alasdair Pritchard left exposed by some poor marking. Harry Woolley scored a consolation late on.

Five Seasons Ago: October 23rd 2010

OHAFC 2nd XI 1 Old Salopians 2’s 2: The Harrow 2’s went down to the odd goal in three at home to the Old Salopians 2’s despite taking the lead through Nick Bartlett.

Four Seasons Ago: October 22nd 2011

Lancing Old Boys 1 OHAFC 1st XI 1: The Harrow 1st XI earned a hard-fought draw away to Lancing but could have forced the win after the home side were reduced to ten men with half an hour to go.

Following a poor start to the season, the Blues approached the game determined to show an improved performance but despite enjoying a good start, fell behind prior to the break when a long goal-kick bounced over the back four and was comfortably fired home.

Harrow continued to press in the second half, de Rougemont, Martins and Pepys all going close to forcing the equaliser. Lancing were reduced to ten men following an injury (they had already used their one sub) and Harrow pressed on, switching to three at the back and sending an extra man forwards.

They were rewarded for their endeavours when referee David Mann generously pointed to the spot following a shove on Olly Hadden-Paton. Lederman safely converted and had a chance to win it late on with a free-kick just outside the box – his effort curled narrowly over however.

Three Seasons Ago: October 27th 2012

OHAFC 1st XI 2 Old Chigwellians 1, Arthur Dunn Cup 1st Round: The OHAFC progressed into the second round of the Cup thanks to a magnificent strike from midfielder Ed Arghebant.

A nasty eye injury forced striker Luke de Rougemont off after less than half an hour but his replacement, young Charlie Stebbings, made an immediate impact, scoring with an excellent header to give Harrow the lead.

Chigwell were back on level terms after an hour when an innocuous cross into the Harrow box bounced up and hit Ed Martins on the arm, the referee immediately signalling for a penalty that was duly dispatched.

But in appalling conditions the grim prospect of extra-time was averted with just under twenty minutes remaining when Ed Arghebant thumped a stunning volley in from 22 yards out, the ball arcing perfectly over the Chigwell 'keeper and into the top of the net.

The win earned Harrow a home tie against Tonbridge in round two.

OHAFC 3rd XI 0 Old Cholmeleian’s 3’s 5: A chastening defeat for Theo Gordon’s 3rd XI, who were never in the game against their counterparts from Highgate.

Two Seasons Ago: October 26th 2013

OHAFC 1st XI 2 Old Etonians 2: For the third game in five, the OHAFC were forced to come from behind to rescue a point, this time against their Old Enemy.

In strong winds on the Hill the home side made a poor start, being undone by a simple long ball over the top after twenty minutes.

The second half was a fractious affair with referee Nicky Bloom handing out several yellow cards. More importantly, he awarded a penalty to the visitors following a trip by Fred Coleridge-Cole. Trailing by two goals with barely twenty minutes remaining, things did not look good for the home side.

But the culprit for Eton’s second goal began the Harrow fight back, heading home from a corner to cut the deficit to one. And an unlikely point was earned just three minutes from time when a second penalty was awarded following a goalline handball that prevented Harry Hoffen from scoring. David Lederman kept his nerve to fire home from the spot.

OHAFC 2nd XI 0 Old Etonians 2’s 2: No such luck for Jack Orr-Ewing’s 2nd XI who went down to two second half Eton goals.

The skipper, forced to play in goal, was largely untroubled in a goalless first half in which the visitors made the better start, but Harrow gradually fought their way back into the game.

The first goal came on the hour when an Etonian corner wasn’t properly dealt with and, following a goalmouth scramble, was converted from close range. With ten minutes remaining the visitors made sure of the points when their best player beat Orr-Ewing from close range with a neat side-footed finish.

Old Brentwoods 4’s 2 OHAFC 3rd XI 3: Result of the day went to the 3rd XI who produced a fine display to defeat Brentwood’s 4th XI in Essex.

Star of the show was unheralded striker Oli Malin-Hyams who scored two stunning goals inside thirty minutes, the first a back-post header, the second a speculative effort from over thirty yards which looped over the stunned goalkeeper and into the top corner of the goal.

The second half was a much scrappier affair as the hosts fought hard to get back on level terms. They pulled a goal back minutes after the break but Will Pridham restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion soon after.

A second Brentwood goal left Harrow to hang on for the final quarter of an hour and they did so magnificently, all eleven players exhausted at the final whistle.

Last Season: October 25th 2014

Old KCS Wimbledon 1 OHAFC 1st XI 3:

A fine first League win of the season to follow up the opening Cup win the previous weekend. Despite playing on a small, tricky pitch in south west London, the Harrow side proved far too strong for their newly-promoted hosts and ran out comfortable winners.

Jack Hill, who enjoyed a fine game, opened the scoring with a close-range finish and was to supply the third ten minutes later when his cross from the right was inadvertently turned into his own net by a Wimbledon player. In between those two goals, Harry Hoffen added to his season’s tally with a fine run and finish.

Wimbledon pulled one back in the second half having earlier missed a penalty but there was never any doubt about the destination of the three points.

Old Aldenhamians 2’s 0 OHAFC 2nd XI 3:

There was also an excellent away win for the Harrow 2’s, who travelled north to face their Aldenham counterparts. Three first half goals in the space of a quarter of an hour left the hosts shell-shocked, including a brace from Azhar Khan, one of which was a 30 yard thunderbolt. Dave Stead grabbed the other and the visitors comfortably maintained their lead to keep their unbeaten start to the season intact.

On This Weekend…In the wider footballing world

October 24th 1857: is a truly historic day in football for it was on this day that Sheffield FC, the world’s oldest existing football club, was formed – the only club in existence older than the OHAFC. Sheffield FC is also one of only two clubs to be awarded the FIFA Order of Merit – the other is Real Madrid.

October 24th 2004: famously saw ‘Pizzagate – The Battle of the Buffet’ take place at Old Trafford. Arsenal faced Manchester United hoping to extend their unbeaten run to 50 games but United had other ideas and, in one of the most memorable games in Premier League history, the hosts won 2-0 thanks to a Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty and a late Wayne Rooney goal. Whilst players and managers clashing in a tunnel is nothing new, this particular occasion took on a new twist when food and drink started to be lobbed between rival factions – the most famous instance being a slice of pizza which hit Sir Alex Ferguson and rolled down his suit. Despite claiming to this day that he has no idea who threw it, the finger of suspicion has long been pointed at Cesc Fabregas…

Also on this weekend: Spurs have had their annual change of manager on this weekend in recent times with both Juande Ramos (2008) and Martin Jol (2007) sacked by the club; ITV decided that switching their Saturday night highlights to prime time in place of Cilla Black’s Blind Date was a bad idea and moved the footy back to a 10.30pm slot (2000); finally, Frankie Bunn set a new record in the League Cup when he scored six goals for Oldham against Scarborough on the artificial surface at Boundary Park (1989)
