Monday 25th April 2011

Grendon Rangers won their first Oving Villages Cup trophy when they defeated Stewkley 1-0 in the Easter Monday final. In front of a large crowd a Shawn Alderman goal five minutes before half time was enough for Grendon Rangers to lift the trophy. In a game with very few clear cut chances Grendon Rangers just edged it although Stewkley hit the ball twice, the second time deep into injury time which would have forced extra time.

Saturday 16th April 2011

Grendon Rangers made it through to their second successive final with a 2-0 win over Long Marston. In a game, which saw no clear cut chances in the first half, Grendon took the lead three minutes into the second half and sealed victory 10 minutes from the end but this was after the Grendon had made two good saves to keep Long Marston from equalising. Grendon now face Stewkley in the final on Easter Monday hoping to go one better than last season when they well beaten by Steeple Claydon.

The Oving Village Cup Committee is looking for new members to join the working committee. The main duties are being available for the semi finals and final to prepare the ground, sort the teams out and clear up afterwards. Anybody interested should contact the secretary, Tony Skeggs 01296 428392, or attend the AGM on the 16th June.

Saturday 19th March 2011

Stewkley booked their place in the Easter Monday final with a 2-1 victory over Haddenham. In an open competitive game which saw both teams keen to attack when given the opportunity, it was Stewkley that started the brightest and they took the lead after 15 minutes. They should have made it two five minutes later but missed the opportunity, this miss seem to wake Haddenham up and they started to take control of the game. They thought they had a good case for a penalty when their player went over in the box but this was waved away by the referee. However, on the half hour mark Haddenham equalised. The second half followed the pattern of the first with Stewkley retaking the lead 10 minutes into the half. Haddenham's best opportunities were directed straight at the Stewkley goalkeeper, who had an excellent game, and despite battling to the end they were unable to find the equaliser.

Wednesday 23rd February 2011

One of the semi finals, Haddenham v Stewkley, has been set for the 19th March at Oving Recreation Ground. The other semi final, Grendon Rangers v Long Marston, looks likely to be played midweek as Grendon Rangers cannot be released until Saturday 16th April. Further details of when and where will follow.

Steeple Claydon's dominance of the competition comes to an end as they fail to make it to their eighth final in succession as Haddenham beat them 3-1. Haddenham will play Stewkley, who beat Long Crendon 4-0 in the other quarter final.

Wingrave are through to the semi finals after beating Oving 4-2 after extra time. Wingrave were taken to extra time by a spirited Oving side that came back from 2-0 down to give the holders a scare. Wingrave went 2-0 up with half hour to play, then Paul Perkins left the field injuryed and Oving started to get into the game and were rewarded with two goals from Jesse Beck. Extra time was an even affair and with penalties looking the likely option, Wingrave scored midway throught the second period. With that goal Oving run out of steam and Wingrave sealed the victory in the dying minutes.
