“Game three of the OBBA season and Fulham were to face the slightly battered FC Kislevhagen.

The Elves started the game and quickly dropped a couple of players back, with the rest moving upfield to attack. Fulham managed to drag the game into a melee, removing players from the pitch as they went. The Elves still had a chance to score, but some desperate defending left the game 0-0 at the break.

After the break Fulham tried to put their own attack together, but Barry Hayles managed to fail in 4 pick ups, allowing the Elves to stroll in and take the ball for 0-1. Fulham attacked again, but some crazy tackles by the Elves meant they regained the ball, Hayles tried to grab it back, but failed a simple dodge, but the Elves failed the pass that followed and Fulham had the chance to score. This time though it was Saha who let the team down, failing to bring down Dempsey's pass as the final whistle went.

Not a great day for Fulham and with nothing of note the crowd awarded Etuhu the MVP, which can only have been due to how busy he was on the pitch. No injuries caused despite 64 blocks, not even a pass of note as Fulham were pegged back, but it was Hayles who was the real disappointment on the day.

Thanks for the game Nicodemus and best of luck for the rest of the season.”
