The opening weekend of the season provided the full range of results for the three OHAFC sides: the 2s thumped the Alleynians 3s 5-1, the 3s earned a 2-2 draw at home to the Canfordians and the 1s fell to a 3-2 defeat at home to Merchant Taylors.

The OHAFC 2nd XI provided star billing with a superb display on the astroturf in Hampton to thump perenially tricky opponents the Old Alleynians 3s. The Blues found themselves 3-0 up inside twenty-five minutes courtesy of superb efforts from Tristan David, Andy Hutchinson and Owain James. An own goal made it 4-0 prior to the break and although the hosts pulled a goal back in the second half, Hutchinson's second late on ensured a fine start for the OHAFC.

The 3s began their season with an entertaining 2-2 draw at home to the Old Canfordians in a first ever League meeting between the two clubs. James Walduck put the Blues ahead on twenty minutes, the visitors levelling prior to half-time. Freddie Everett restored the home side's advantage early in the second half but a powerful Canfordians side kept pressing and were rewarded for their efforts when a superb long-range strike flew in from 30 yards out via a combination of crossbar and keeper Tom Mitchell.

But there was disappointment for the 1st XI over on the Phil as they fell to a 3-2 defeat to the newly-promoted Old Merchant Taylors.

The hosts made a terrible start, conceding a penalty after just six minutes. John Russell levelled matters early in the second half, but the visitors replied with a quickfire double to earn a two-goal lead. Ciaran Jordan gave the Blues a glimmer of hope with fifteen minutes remaining but there was no late comeback and Taylors held on to complete the win.
