Today it was time to rejoin the Groundhop U.K. circus, for what was to be the final game on the Scottish ’Hop and a chance to see the league leaders as they hosted eleventh (out of 15) in the table Easthouses Lily Miners Welfare. Oakley went ahead after twenty minutes, with a good finish after being played through one on one with the ’keeper. Easthouses levelled eight minutes before the break, when an Oakley defender sliced the ball into his own net, trying to cut out a cross. The hosts were back in front four minutes later, heading in a corner from close range. The visitors had a chance to draw level again before halftime, but their penalty kick was saved by the Oakley ’keeper. The second half seemed to drift by and never really got going. Oakley comfortably took the points in the end and reopened their four point lead over second placed Glenrothes at the top of the table.
