Young Jets Cut Through The Mud

Oxhey Jets 2 Langley 0
Cherry Red Combined Counties Division One
15th February 2025

A good win on a dreadful pitch was the reward for a Jets team that gets younger and younger but goes up and up in ability and potential.

A mess of a pitch after the impacts of playing after Storm Eowyn.

Unfortunately for such a skilful side, the mudlark of a pitch we are now stuck with, thanks to one game played during Storm Eowyn, is a significant restriction for this skilful but very young side.

Excellent performance from Brian McGovern.

With the illness to TJ it got younger with an excellent start from Brian McGovern and a second-half debut from another teenager signed from Belstone Frankie Pass.

Give Youth a Chance is the rebuild theory from managers Tom Inch & Dave Barnes. Despite inconsistent performances, the willingness to learn and improve is impressive.

For the second match running, it was a good performance for their young Guns, unfortunately, made more challenging by the “Difficult pitch”, especially for the two wide boys Brander and Rice.

George Rice 1-0

These two opened Langley up with an early goal when Patrick Brander delivered to Owen Ayres, who was denied by an excellent save. Still, the ball went wide to George Rice, who controlled, cut in and coolly slotted 1-0 (5 mins).

Jets were lifted, and the keeper denied top scorer Dominic Mosca from making it 2-0.

Henry Ford had to be alert in goal to maintain Jets lead.

Langley responded and had three good openings. Now, Jets keeper Henry Ford was equally confident to block out and hold Jets advantage.

Unfortunately, it was a hospital trip for Lewis Davis.

Jets had the upper hand, but it was a dogged battle by two sides now separated by just a point in a relative mid-table void. However, for Jets players, there are still three cups to play for places in.

Dom Mosca brought down for a pen.
Dom converts the penalty.

The second half slightly edged the Jets way possession-wise. After a defensive mistake from the Langley defence from Henry Atkinson’s cutting ball, it was Jets top scorer Dominic Mosca who was now staring the goalkeeper in the eyes, brought down, got up, slotted and a yellow for the keeper, a thoroughly punished error! 2-0 (48 mins)

Frankie Pass – Another young teenage addition.

Jets didn’t take their foot off the accelerator today, and a very competent performance saw the game out and a debut for another teenager as new signing Frankie Pass came in for his first taste of Jets football.

Owen Ayres, heading off the line here, had an excellent game.

Man of the match saw two comments. Owen Ayres was again described as excellent, but the unanimous decision went to Brian McGovern, who grabbed his chance with both hands and played an absolutely superb match.

Adrian Flux Insurance January Player of the Month

January was tough for Jets, with only one win and four defeats. The win, though, was spectacular. Jets found themselves 3-1 down at Windsor with time running out until Dom Mosca came on and scored a game-changing hat-trick in the 84th, 86th and 90th minute. Despite Mosca’s heroics, the Man of the Match deservedly went to the young full-back Henry Atkinson, who was making his first start for Jets after three substitute appearances.

Henry became the main story for Jets in January, as in the remaining two games, he also won the Man of the Match award, making it three from three starts! So, there is no doubt who the Adrian Flux Insurance Player of the Month is for January. Congratulations Henry!

Jets Stun Yateley

Yateley 3 Oxhey Jets 4
Cherry Red Combined Counties Division One
8th February 2025

Jets unpredictable season swung again with a stunning display at play-off hopefuls Yateley. Jets had possibly their youngest squad of the season out on an immaculate pitch, the surface every bit as good as a top Astro pitch, but Grass, if you could have a grass pitch that good lettings and multi-use aside, you’d not want to swop.

Jets Man of the Match Owen Ayres opens the scoring on 5 mins.

Jets’ first twenty-five minutes were fabulous, a display of attacking football that more than once left the defenders sitting firmly on their butts !! Jets wingers Brander and Rice were tearing it up. The goals quickly came, first when Brander zipped the wing. Following the pass of the match from TJ, Owen Ayres, whose goal touch is returning, met his pinpoint low drive. 0-1 (5 min).

Patrick Brander makes no mistake slotting home Jets second.
Brander celebrates!

The football continued to flow, and a Mosca/Rice interchange led to a composed finish from Patrick Brander. ( 0-2 11mins)

Jets’ superb start continues as Dom Mosca adds a third goal.

The Jets were unstoppable, and as the defenders peeled off to try to peg back the wingers, it was top scorer Dominic Mosca hammering the third 0-3 ( 16 min)

Owen Ayres almost makes it 4-0.

Jets stayed in charge and should have extended when Brander pinged a cross perfect to the head of Owen Ayres, who headed the chance just over the bar.

In fairness, Yateley got a grip and worked their way back into the game, and it was a real end-to-end. The unpredictable decisions were making it contentious for the home side, and this increased when young Henry Atkinson chased back and won a superb tackle and, incredibly, the referee went straight to the spot!! The referee, however, then decided to go to the assistant, and it was corrected ( rightly) that there was no pen but then a drop ball, not the corner it should have been.

Jets rode out the pressure and the back line; Craig Stephen-Lett was excellent in the aerial duel at the back, keeping out the well-drilled home side set pieces.

All the way to Hampshire, these two still support us.

Yateley, as expected, came at Jets throats from the second-half kick-off and, in a goalmouth scramble, Finlay Scott pulled one back after just four minutes. (1-3 49 mins)

Yateley now had the upper hand, and it was Jets’ defence and midfield taking the spotlight off the front line. Then, from another set play, Harry Lee headed home (2-3 59 mins), and Jets were on the rack.

Dom Mosca scores a vital fourth goal.

Incredibly, this shook the Jets into action, taking up the assault again, and when the home defence looked in control, a loose ball was forced by Dominic Mosca, harassing and chasing, and he got possession and slotted. (2-4 61 mins)

With half an hour to play, the maturity shown by the Jets in possession and running the clock down was in advance of this team’s years, and the play was excellent. They even opened the home defence twice with through balls to Rice but looked tired. The winger could not convert, but they held their lines until stoppage time. Then, with two of the four minutes played, another set ball header hit the net. (3-4 92 mins)

Panic, no, Jets made two chances, one denied by the keeper and the second TJ sensibly headed for the corner flag when he and Owen Ayres played out multiple corners to see us over the line.

After a hurtful few games, this was a real bounce back and some display against a top side.

Danny Fowler back in action.

Man of the match as is when a win was contested, the front line was outstanding and a constant threat; Craig was excellent, especially in the first half, possibly his best game of the season, but the decision went to Owen Ayres, who was like his old self working and marshalling the midfield and got a good opening goal too.

A five-star first half and a controlled second brought an excellent away win for the Jets.

Opportunity Missed

Oxhey Jets 2 Everett Rovers 3
Herts Centenary Trophy Semi-Final
25th January 2025

Jets fell in the Herts Centenary Trophy to Herts County Premier League side Everett Rovers at a muddy Boundary Stadium.

It was always going to be a big match as Everett is managed by ex-Jets Tim O’Sullivan, who is a terrific motivator of a football team as our past great escape history bears testimony to, and there was no doubt that he would be trying to work his magic again in this semi-final tie.

George Rice 1-0

The pitch was sodden, and 80% was playable; the rest was not, but it was the same for both teams. It was the jets who started brightly, with George Rice opening the scoring, springing the offside line, and confidently slotting after just fine minutes 1-0

Jets held that lead till a chip over the top played Everett in for a 21st-minute equaliser.

The game was open considering the conditions and a massive chance went begging when Dom Mosca went clear and slotted past the keeper but wide of the post.

George Rice beats the keeper
Dom Mosca is on hand to finish 2-1

Jets then regained the lead, and again, it was George Rice. This time, as a provider, he drove the ball goalbound past the keeper, and Dom Mosca was there to put the Jets back in front 2-1 (34 min), a lead that Jets held at the break.

Jets made changes at the break with the heavy bog side of the pitch wearing legs out, but Everett was strangely riding the condition much better considering they have an Astro pitch and deserved the equaliser on the hour 2-2

From there on, it was Everett in charge of the play, and despite using all the bench, Jets never fired up and stayed in the game mainly due to the visitors missing chances.

Jets’ luck ran out with just two minutes to go before the penalties when jets keeper made an excellent save but spilled the hold, and it was Everett’s strikers on hand with no defenders there to stab home what was the winner.

Jets huffed and puffed a little and had one golden chance to level but put over the bar, and Jets weakly bowed out of the senior competition. Everett totally deserved the big victory and the cup final slot.

For the jets, the form of the last four games has been poor, and heart and commitment are lacking; there is considerable work to do for the staff to work out why such players on paper are not gelling; the ill James Kimber was badly missed at the back, but that should not be the catalyst for this performance.

Man of the match was not hard to decide. George Rice scored one and made one, but the stand-out name was again young defender Henry Atkinson, who’s arrived at the first team with total commitment and vision, something that’s badly lacking in the team on present form.

We wish Tim O’Sullivan and Everett Rovers all the best in the final.

Jets Storm Back To Win Friday Night Shootout

Windsor 3 Oxhey Jets 4
Cherry Red Combined Counties Division One
17th January 2025

The great escape, the comeback of the season. All descriptions can be used for the incredible comeback by Jets in the last six minutes to turn a 3-1 defeat into a 3-4 win at a good Windsor Friday night match.

The six-minute hero was player of the month Dom Mosca, who came on as a substitute to score the six-minute hat trick and set off wild celebrations on and off the pitch.

Jets had early chances, but the tight Windsor defence saw them off, and former Jets academy player Avco opened the Jets flank and cut to get the shot that was deflected home to put the hosts in front. Avtandili Akhsiashvili (22 mins).

Owen Ayres levels it at 1-1

Windsor now had the upper hand, but Jets kept countering, and from a cross from Elliott Harris, Jets pulled level from an excellent Owen Ayres header at the near post 1-1 (37 mins).

Jets were wobbling but level and held on till the break, but by now, minus joint boss Dave Barnes sent off for a comment somebody else said by the dramatic official who told more versions of the incident than can be remembered to cover his mistakes.
Half time 1-1

The Jets started much as they finished and only showed a rare glimpse of their recent form, but more controversy when the Jets lost possession after a clear foul, Windsor bolted forward and scored 2-1. Troy Williams (49′). The official incensed the jets yet again, and the Lino said I saw it, but the ref was closer. Don’t help your mood !!

Windsor all but sealed the match when Samuel Johnstone Healey (60′)with a good goal, and the jets looked floored and to be continuing their dreadful away form; it was made worse by Owen Ayres putting the Jets down to ten men sitting out a sin bin.

The remaining manager, Tom Inch, changed everything, throwing on all five subs, and boy, how it worked. Patrick Brander was now teasing one wing, and this ignited George Rice swopping to the other, and Dom was in the hump to prove he wanted to start, and Jets took the game by the throat.

Penalty! Patrick Brander brought down in the area.
Dom Mosca gets Jets back in it on 84 mins.

A through ball by Rice to Brander saw the youngster in on goal but upended from behind, and Dom Mosca converted the spot kick 3-2 ( 84 min)

Dom Mosca hammers it home and it’s 3-3

Jets sensed a chance and streamed forward, and again it was Rice going direct who found Dom Mosca to chip the keeper 3-3 (86 min) scenes broke out as Jets celebrated.

Danny becomes our No 1 Cheerleader!
Unbelievable comeback. Dom Mosca completes a 6 minute hat-trick!
Go Dom!!

Still, it was not over as right on 90 minutes, one of the youngest players on the pitch, Henry Atkinson, saved Jet’s bacon with an incredible interception to stop Windsor from going clear. Henry controlled it and immediately sent it through to Dom Mosca. Dom got his shirt pulled back by his shirt, but the ref played a great advantage, and Dom pulled himself clear to blast the winner into the net and sent Jets wild on and off the pitch.

It was an incredible game and fightback, but I wish we would not do that for our hearts’ sake!!

Jets go wild!

The Carlsberg Man Of The Match was not the inspirational substitutions nor the hat trick hero. The fully deserved award went to young Henry Atkinson, who was called into the reshuffled back line along with the recalled Danny Fowler and played a faultless match. He joyfully accepted his award, saying, “I couldn’t have done it without you lads!”

Abbey Too Strong For Jets

Oxhey Jets 1 Abbey Rangers 3
Cherry Red Combined Counties Premier Cup
14th January 2025

Jets tumbled to Southern Premier Division Abbey Rangers in the Combined Counties Premier Cup.

With almost a full-strength squad, Jets were poor in the first half and were lucky to be just a goal down at halftime, where shortly after the break, the staff said they would not accept lazy performances and changed all five substitutions into play to put on a much stronger second half.

A good early chance for Jets.

This was always going to be a tough test, and although keeper young Henry Ford was brave and the busiest, Jets missed two bolt-on chances before falling behind. Ford had earned a cut and swollen nose bravely heading a ball away outside the area after Jets’ back line had been breached again, but, in a reverse of play, Dom Mosca was put through clear on the keeper 1:1 but ran the ball straight into the keeper and the loose ball put high over the bar by Elliot Harris with the goal looming. It would be punished in full when the visitors took the lead just two minutes later, 0-1 ( 14 mins).

Jets were on the rack for much of the rest of the half and hung on mostly thanks to Ford to be one down at the break.

Jets staff clearly not happy with the effort put in and showed their teeth early in the second half after going further behind from a corner 0-2 (51 min) with the mass changes.

An acrobatic James Kimber pulls one back for Jets.

It was now a different Jets, and they went to restore pride. It was game back on when centre-half James Kimber acrobatically slotted at the post 1-2 ( 61 mins).

Jets now looked like they might just !! Or could they pull off a steal?
They tried and tried, and it was the visitors asking for the whistle to end the contest when, with four of the six minutes of stoppage time played, a clean break saw two players break totally clear from the halfway line and showed the difference in Premier finishing to finish Jets challenge 1-3 (94 mins).

It was a tough ask, but a much better second half, giving the staff some thinking to do before they turn out again Friday at Windsor.

Jets Carlsberg Man of the Match was Henry Ford, who performed bravely.

Adrian Flux Insurance December Player of the Month

There were four matches for Jets in December, with two excellent home wins against St Albans City Reserves and Colliers Wood United, contrasting with two sub-par performances away at Deportivo Galicia and Hillingdon Borough. 

Jets were in the goals with 8 goals in the two home games, the leading scorers being Elliott Harris and Dom Mosca. It was a close decision between these two players, but the nod went to Dom Mosca as he picked up two Carlsberg Man of the Match awards to Elliott’s one award. 

Congratulations to Dom from Adrian Flux Insurance.

Strong Jets Denied By Late Winner

Windsor and Eton 2 Oxhey Jets 1
Cherry Red Combined Counties Division One
4th January 2025

Massive reaction was needed, and it was given by Jets at title Favourites Windsor & Eton following last week’s dreadful display at Hillingdon.

On the only grass pitch in the Combined Counties league to survive the freeze, Jets went off to the Lion’s den with everyone expecting them to be slated again, but the crowd of 269 were stunned by a fantastic defensive display in the first half by Jets.

Joe Reade, so close to giving Jets the lead.

In fact, Jets were only denied the lead by a coat of paint when Joe Reade clattered the underside of the crossbar, only for the the ball to bounce on the goal line and come back out.

Jets had given everything and matched their excellent opponents blow for blow, which led to a rather flattering, if not self-indulgent, comment by one supporter of W&E to our staff on the way off, saying, “You should be very proud of your team!” !!

Those same staff had made very difficult choices pre-match, making many changes to the squad and team. It was a welcome return from long injury layoffs for Danny Fowler and Archie Sykes, and Elliott Harris returned from suspension all straight into the start lineup. An eye-watering battle was between well-travelled and experienced Marcus Mealing and James Kimber. Kimber was superb, pegging back the top striker and Jets a credible 0-0 at the break.

Jets needed to continue their first-half effort to repeat the superb win over W&E they achieved early in the season at the Boundary.

A breakthrough for Windsor and Eton as they take the lead on 55 mins

Now, with the slope and the very influential crowd behind them, the hosts upped their levels even more but frustration showed when they were reduced to ten men for a sin bin. They still, however, were able to take the lead when, at 55 minutes, a sharp one-two opened up a chance; the Jets keeper started to come and stopped and substitute Ethan Darcy rounded him to score 1-0.

Jets went a little into their shell but dug deep; Kimber and his side kick Craig Stephen Lett were faultless, and although for a while we went out of the game, our desire and effort never faded.

Lewis Davis came on and made a big contribution.
Super goal from Patrick Brander levels it on 87 mins.

Then the staff shook things up and made multiple changes, and Jets went more direct. With just three minutes to play Patrick Brander, Jets’ youngest player, went on a direct attack from an angle, sidestepped the keeper and slotted 1-1 (87 mins)

Dom Mosca so close to putting Jets in front.

Now it was a different Jets, and how the game was not won will haunt them. Three massive chances were presented to the Jets in rapid succession. We had gone from no chances in the second half to streaming forward and looking like the more likely side, then a big chance as our leading scorer Dominic Mosca broke clear slotted the keeper but agonisingly just past the post.

As the referee indicated four minutes of stoppage, it was a frenzied finish, but with seven minutes of the four gone (Yes, that’s not an error!!!) Jets lost possession going forward, the hosts countered and were awarded a soft free kick. From the free-kick Pawel Kowalkowski headed the winner.

To rub salt in Jets wounds, the referee apologised in the bar afterwards for the very soft free kick that lost the game, clearly influenced by the excellent but very biased massive home crowd.

A defeat, but some strong performances by the lads and nothing but praise for the whole squad.

The Carlsberg man of the match was clearly destined for the defence, and I repeat, James Kimber was absolutely superb. having to deal with one of the most experienced forwards in the division, alongside his partner Craig, was also faultless, so with no one willing to split the pair the award was shared.

Something special was needed after Hillingdon, and the dreaded follow-up game against the title favourites was the last thing Jets needed. Still, today, the lads were genuinely magnificent, and only rotten luck and a bit of coolness at the critical moment cost them a brilliant point against a top-of-the-table team who also, with their support, really do have an extra man.

Jets Get Blasted

Hillingdon Borough 7 Oxhey Jets 1
Cherry Red Combined Counties Division One
28th December 2024

Dom Mosca gives Jets an early lead with this well-taken penalty.

Jets were thumped and outplayed at Hillingdon Borough after early promise wilted away. On seeing the pitch, Jets changed the line-up and tactics, knowing the football would not be possible and fully expecting the match to be abandoned by halftime. Still, as dreadful as it was, the home side played some delightful football on it, a real credit to them for showing if you are good enough, you can play on any surface.

Jets took the lead from the penalty spot when Dominic Mosca converted 0-1 ( 14 min), and things were even, but the lead was short-lived, just three minutes, then a defensive mistake led to a second on twenty-three minutes, and Jets found themselves 1-2 down but still in the match, and had one cleared off the line and Kimber denied by the keeper. Jets, though, then changed formation, and it wholly backfired, and the home side stormed into a 4-1 lead at the break.
Jets in the second half can find little praise; they folded, shrugged their shoulders, and lacked effort to contain the score. If not retrievable, it was not good to watch and unacceptable.
Hillingdon ran riot, firmly thrashing the Jets in a complete lesson to the lacklustre effort offered in response to what is an excellent Hillingdon team.
Hillingdon are one of the most gifted teams we’ve seen, and if its facilities were to match its ability, it would be a threat to the pyramid.
No Carlsberg man of the match was given, and very few can hold their heads high, but in the final minutes, Dominic Mosca carried on working and battling a lost cause and could and should have pulled the score back to closer if not actually respectable.

The hope of a late push for a playoff place firmly lost in the last month after a promising run leaves the Jets looking at the Cups for any hopes of glory for this season, but it will need to be much better than this to achieve anything.

Jets Bounce Back To Blow Woods Away

Oxhey Jets 4 Colliers Wood 2
Cherry Red Combined Counties Division One
21st December 2024

Despite the horrendous north wind blowing, Santa didn’t turn up, but this was definitely not a Christmas Cracker !!

Jets are blowing hot and cold, and after the excellent midweek demolition of St Albans City Reserves, Jets went into a slumber mood. By half time, I was wishing I had my old photographic colour testing kits to see if we were red/blue colour blind going by the standard of the passing!!

Colliers Wood are on a bad run after five defeats on the bounce but they were up for the fight after their difficult train journey to the Boundary.

Important early save from Henry Ford.

Jets were getting chances, and George Rice was opening the defence with his direct runs, but Jets were wasteful, missing the, at times, tap-ins and almost paid the price. However, in goal, young Henry Ford was on hand to block and keep things level.

Dom Mosca 1-0

Good play by Rice again opened up the goal, and the ball was met perfectly by leading scorer Dom Mosca, who beat the keeper 1-0 ( 16 mins).

Immediate Reply from Colliers Wood 1-1

Straight from the kickoff, the visitors attacked the Jets’ flank, who were not concentrating or ready, and despite Ford’s sliding attempt, the gentle touch to one side left the keeper stranded, and the ball stroked in the net by Jordan Mobil within a minute 1-1 (16 mins).

Owen Ayres nets but a ‘weird’ offside denies

Weirdly, as the light turned bright orange in a wicked sky, Owen Ayres thought he had finished off a superb move into the net but was denied by the strangest offside flag of the day.

In the swirling wind and rain, the rest of the half was best forgotten and, at the break, it remained 1-1.

Jets fall behind 1-2

The second half started as always slow for the Jets, and again, we were caught out on the flank; from the resulting corner, the visitors took the lead with a back post finish by James Curren (49 min), so now this was going to be a big test for off-colour Jets.

TJ strikes to bring it level 2-2

The staff were quick to react, and the importance of the bench came to the rescue as three changes upped the tempo; although the passing quality did not improve as the pitch deteriorated, the effort was improving. Then the breakthrough when, after an impressive series of passes, came from the edge of the area as TJ shot and beat the keeper 2-2 ( 61 mins).

Malachi Bailey’s shot from the touchline hits the net.
Celebrations with Malachi.

Now Jets were on the attack, but the finishing “kill” quality was lacking. Still, long-distance goals are becoming a feature, but with David Lopes missing ill, today it was substitute Malachi Bailey whose high dipper beat the keeper from the touchline 3-1 (75 mins).

Elliott Harris slots home Jets fourth.

The visitors were floored, the body language said that, and excellent graft by Dom Mosca robbed the skipper and keeper, and as he chased the loose ball to slot in the empty net, Elliott Harris nipped in to slot and killed the game 4-2 (90+4).

It was not a classic but points on the table, and no one demonstrated that work rate can earn points on a bad conditions day more than Dom Mosca, who battled and chased and battled some more to earn the solo nomination for the Carlsberg man of the match.

It won’t be all good with around thirty matches already played in only eighteen weeks. As our staff builds and adds to the squad to increase depth, it is clear how vital that depth is. Today was visible proof, as the bench and the staff’s reaction to change things won the game.

Merry Christmas everyone. With no midweek game, enjoy the festive mini-break; you’ve earned it well.

Oxhey Jets 4 St Albans City Reserves 1
Herts Centenary Cup Quarter-Final
17th December 2024

Jets blasted St Albans City Reserves aside in this quarter-final tie to face the Everett Rovers/London Cheetahs tie winners in the semi-final.

George Rice puts Jets into the lead.

Jets are blowing hot and cold at the moment, and after a sterile first fifteen offering scrappy football, Jets grabbed the lead as Joe Reade tucked a perfect ball behind the centre half for George Rice to run onto and slot from a tight angle 1-0 (19 min)

Our report on the 2024 Remembrance Day ceremony and match with the Royal Navy is available here.

Jets Blast Saints Aside

Elliott Harris doubles Jets lead.

The teams had hardly restarted when Elliott Harris harassed and dispossessed the defender to unleash an unstoppable shot into the bottom corner 2-0 (21 mins)

Jets then lost George Rice, injured, and replaced him with Patrick Brander, who was back after missing four games. He looked up and was ready for his return, turning defenders inside out at every opportunity.

Elliott Harris blasts home Jets third.

In an almost repeat of his first goal, Elliott Harris dispossessed the defender and smashed the ball high into the top of the net (35min) for 3-0 and a big lead at the break that could have been worse for City had the assistant been up to the goal line when David Lopes hit his traditional long shot that hit the underside of the bar bounced twice looked well in before clawed out but, to be fair to the assistant, the shot was from a good 50yds out !!

City fought back hard and got back in it with this goal.

Both sides made multiple changes, and City took control now and pushed Jets to the limit; they went through twice but were denied by Henry Ford in goal. But on 70 minutes, City pulled one back, and it looked like the Jets lead could be in danger as City dominated proceedings.

Elliott Harris coolly slots home his hat-trick goal and seals the semi-final spot for Jets.

Luckily for Jets, Man of the Match Elliott Harris took the sting completely out of the game as he sprinted past the defender, latching onto hesitation and cooly slotted for his Hat trick 4-1 (74 min)

The game effectively died, and Jets played out the game for a comfortable scoreline, which was secured with very effective, ruthless goal-scoring. City were lucky it wasn’t worse as Patrick Brander was denied by the post with the keeper beaten.

In fairness to St Albans, they never gave up, and at 3-1, they were looking good for a comeback, but tonight, Jets were ruthless, and none more than Elliott Harris, who had a superb hat trick.

Adrian Flux Insurance November Player Of The Month

George Rice is our well-deserved Adrian Flux Insurance Oxhey Jets Player Of The Month for November. George had an excellent month with two Man of the Match Awards and another two Man of the Match nominations. He scored three goals and made two assists in a highly consistent set of performances.

Overall Jets had a powerful month with six wins from seven matches, including progressing in two cup competitions and ending the month by winning away in the league at second place Penn & Tylers Green.

Unsurprisingly, there were several outstanding player contributions during the month. Dom Mosca was again in the goals with four more in the month and a Man of the Match award. Andre Lopes matched him and also assisted in a goal. The defence performed well throughout the month, most notably James Kimber with a Man of the Match award, two shortlist nominations and part of the clean sheet defence in the 4-0 win against Holmer Green.

Overall, though, it was George’s month. Congratulations, George, from everyone at Adrian Flux Insurance.
