OUFC came to the home of the Bulls today and buoyed by their lofty league position, the BUFC fans were expecting their team to put on a performance, since the were top of the table as they went into this game!What a disappointment for all concerned then, when this game turned out to be a nil-nil bore draw. Both sides fought hard and it was the keepers that saw most action, as our usually reliable goal-scorers seemed to have lost their touch today. Meanwhile, Gunny kept a clean sheet at the back and at least helped us to salvage one point from the game, picking up (Wo)man of the Match for her efforts! Even so we drop back down to earth and find ourselves in 4th place when the results are in.
Game 6: Tank 2-1 BUFC
Deflated by the poor showing in our last outing, we travel to a difficult away game against Tank today. Boston line up in a defensive pattern in an effort to control the Tank strikers, who have been known to have a field day against us in previous matches.Hopes are raised when Bimbo snatches an early goal on 7 minutes, but we are quickly pegged back, only to concede a second before halftime. Worried that this could signal the opening of the floodgates, AJs team talk galvanises the team in the second half. Although we eventually fail to get an equaliser, we do hold the Tank at bay and the game ends in a 2-1 defeat, dropping us further down the table to 6th.
Game 7: BUFC 3-2 Fog Squad
We welcome Fog Sq. today and hope that the home advantage can help us back to our winning ways. Our new Czech midfielder, Ulpetr shows the fans some of the skills we have all witnessed on the training pitch, with an impressive solo run early on, that only comes to an end when he is brought down in the area. He gets us off to a flying start by converting the penalty on 9 minutes.Not to be outdone, NumbNutz follows his colleagues example with his own superb, solo effort on 18 minutes and although they pull one back BUFC are happy with their 2-1 lead at halftime. The Squad equalise early in the second half and the three points are only made secure when Bimbo latches on to a through ball from Mickey, to score and Boston win the game 3-2.

Game 8: BUFC 2-0 Pablo11
Pablo's 11 visit Boston and look like a force to be reckoned with, now they have taken the cream from Crash before it crumbled. But BUFC are flying high this season and take the lead on the half hour mark when Bimbo finds the net. Our one-nil advantage looks threatened with Gunny is booked for a rash challenge inside her area, but she redeems herself by saving the ensuing penalty.
The game is made safe however, when Phoenix is set free to score from Mickey's pass on 68 minutes. His tough tackling helps the midfielder pick up his third yellow card of the season too - but it is Gunny who is awarded MoM for her fine goalkeeping display, to make it the 4th clean sheet of the season already and help propel BUFC back into 3rd place!
