OAKWOOD B 1 SCRABBLE FC 2

“What a game and what an advert for the league,” Abrahams told JC Sport after an epic contest.

“A game which could ultimately have a huge impact on the promotion race started at a very high tempo as Scrabble dominated the early play and the visitors were rewarded on 10 minutes when a superb move and neat pass saw the ball dropping out of the air to Josh Bharier’s feet. Standing 45 yards from goal, the Scrabble midfielder noticed the keeper was off his line and launched a curling dipping volley into the roof of the Oakwood net to give Scrabble the lead.
