Scarborough 1 Old Otliensians Seconds 2 Despite the week of snow, Otliensians travelled over to Scarborough for this week’s game needing a win. The players did not let the waterlogged pitch and heavy sleet dampen their spirits and battled hard from the start. Facing the tough challenge of passing the ball through the puddles, Otliensians used this to their advantage and were able to build up some good play through the field with short passes. Maggie Simpson took the ball down the pitch finding top scorer Vix Lindley positioned perfectly to tap home Otliensians’ first goal. Otliensians were unlucky not to capitalise on other chances to score but were hindered by the weather.
