Oct 9 2008 by Ewan Ross, Ormskirk Advertiser

Osb U-7s 2

Skem Utd 2

OSB’s second ever game ended all square after they were 2-0 down.

Despite the two goal deficit, James scored from close range and scored the equaliser from a well worked corner.

Osb U-9s 13

Town Green 3

A GREAT game saw some wonder goals from both teams.

But it was Osb who took the points with a superb team performance with goals from Liam, Ewan, Callum, and Sam (5), Michael, James, Matthew, and Joe.

Osb U-10s 0

Madrid 1

OSB’s three year unbeaten run in the league came to an end against Madrid.

Madrid scored early, unsettling Osb but after the half-time talk they upped the tempo and started to bombard Madrid's goal.

But the keeper pulled out save some great saves including one from a late penalty.

Osb U-12s 14

Newtown 0

OSB’s goal feast continued with another fine display of attacking football.

Some fantastic goals went in but credit must go to Newtown who never gave in and played some good football themselves. Osb’s goal scorers were Alex (4). Simon (4), JJ (2), Joe (2), Clayton and Jack.

OSB FC U-10s 2

OSB JFC 0

A FRANTIC, fast paced first half saw chances at both ends. But the deadlock was broken when sub Lewis passed a lovely ball through the middle to Jack who placed the ball past the keeper to put FC in the lead.

Charlie was denied by the post when the JFC keeper stretched to get a hand his powerful left foot shot. Equally up to the task, FC’s keeper made a number of brave stops at the feet of the opponents. Then a corner for FC was sweetly headed home by Owen to complete the day’s scoring.
