Based in the Watford suburb of South Oxhey, The Jets were established in 1972 and play at Boundary Stadium. Last season the pitch was so bad, they risked forfeiting games, so the club dug deep and relaid a beautiful new pitch as told here.Oxhey Jets took on local rivals Hertford 5-0 in front of 58 people at the Boundary - almost a goal for every 10 people watching - how nice.
Jets opened the scoring after only 8 minutes when TIM O'MARA hammered home from close range, PAUL TURNER headed home number two after 24 minutes and Jets were in their own personal danger zone. Twice in the last two games Jets have thrown away a two goal lead.
Jets were in no mood for a tight half hour and this time went for the throat from kick off. With just five minutes of the second half played TIM O'MARA added his second and within a minute of the restart the Hertford defence was split wide open as a ball from Wayne Gladdy tore them open and JAMIE ARTHUR slotted and Jets looked safe.
Hertford pushed for some respectability and keeper Kevin Paul was kept on his toes, but it was Jets who had the last word, when TIM O'MARA rounded the keeper to complete a super hat-trick from a tight angle. Jets were thrilled at the result against their much fancied fellow Spartan rivals.
In the next round Oxhey Jets will play ay home to Ilford on August 30th. If you live local, why don't you get down to the Boundary?
