Highlights
Mens 1 v Chichester
This was a win to savour. After a long journey and perhaps not enough warm up time we went 2 down in the first quarter. http://olhc.clubbuzz.co.uk/match_record/385592
U16 Boys v Sevenoaks Tier 1
This was a crucial match for the boys to win if they wanted to keep alive any chance of progressing through to the next round of the Mercian league play-offs.

U16 boys Tier 2 Mercian League Play-Offs
Having finished top in their Mercian League Area division, the U16 boys Tier 2 team progressed in to a triangular play off tournament against Holcombe and Marlow. http://olhc.clubbuzz.co.uk/match_record/385986
U12 Boys Tournament at Saffron Walden
The boys fought well in horrendous weather, it rained so hard it was difficult to see the play and they were soaked. It would be hard to judge the boys in such conditions but plenty of room for improvement especially clearing the ball away from danger and moving the ball quickly.
Results:
OLHC v Saffron Walden 4 - 1
OLHC v Bishop Stortford 3 - 1
OLHC v Chelmsford 9 - 0
OLHC v Blue Hornets 4 - 0
Goals were spread around today but special mention to Harry 7 & Max 6 goals. Next challenge Essex Cup.....!
