OXTED 0-1 BATTERSEA IRONSIDES

Ironsides won again on a Saturday in a hard fought game. They started well, taking the game to Oxted, and could have been two or three up in the first 20 minutes. In the 21st minute they eventually scored when Theo Parker placed the ball in the corner of the net to give Ironside a deserved lead. Ironsides had to withstand some over the top tackling from theopposition, which went unpunished by the referee. In the second half Ironsides continued to play well, without adding to their lead. Despite losing Ernie Kendall in the final 10 minutes for a second yellow card, the Ironsides saw out the remainder of the game, to confirm their recent improvement in form and give them another 3 points.
