Highs and Lows

Charlie Oakley | 25 March, 2011

I can’t believe that we have been knocked out of the cup! Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled that we made it so far in the competition, but we should have won the game against St Pauls.

For starters, we definitely deserved a penalty when Woodward was scythed to the ground. Second, St Paul’s winning goal was a mile offside! When you’re playing a team that is as good as St Paul’s you really need a bit of luck. Unfortunately, the only luck we got was of the bad variety!

Being knocked out of the cup has opened my eyes to how bad it must be for the pros when they get knocked out in the final stages of major competitions. Imagine going to Wembley to play in the FA Cup final and coming away with nothing! It’s also made me nervous about the boxing championship finals. I cannot imagine anything other than walking away with the belt. I need to keep my thoughts focused – if you get ‘the fear’ in the boxing game you’re stuffed!

Anyway, I hope that the climax to our league season will yield a bit of silverware to make up for the cup!

Catch y’all later.
