7th November 2026
In silence deep, we take a stand,
For heroes of our noble land.
We wear our poppies, heads held high,
For those who fought and dared to die,
Their sacrifice, forever grand.
The annual Oxhey Jets remembrance match saw the hosts regain the Garry Beadle Memorial Trophy with a comfortable victory against the 1st Battalion Princess of Wales Royal Regiment.
Another record attendance at the Boundary Stadium watched the Hertfordshire side bounce back after last years defeat to the Royal Marines, albeit with a new look squad.
The traditional pre-match ceremony was enjoyed by over five hundred spectators, in which local dignitaries laid wreaths for our fallen, with the late Tom Lake, Tom Sawyer & Beadle all fondly remembered.
It took just four minutes for Joseph Brown to break the deadlock with a looping effort from the edge of the penalty arc, Dominic Mosca with a similar scenario soon made it two.
Tigers Nathan Pearce was the busier of the keepers making several blocks to deny further damage, however he was powerless on the quarter hour as Joshua Blake pounced on the rebound from another good save.
A short corner routine saw Jamie Doolan power a header home and Michael David made it five within thirty minutes with a slight deflected drive from the edge of the box.
Jordan Small forced Jets custodian Austin Ayres to fling out an arm to thwart an almost certain goal late in the half, but the scoreline stretched further when Liam Arthey nodded past his own keeper just before the break.
Changes at the interval gave little respite for the visitors, Lewis Davis skipping a couple of challenges placed perfectly into the corner, Joe Booth then flashed inside the far post from an acute angle.
Blake completed his brace for the afternoon when he got enough contact on a cross from the left, Booth likewise after playing a neat one-two around the eighteen-yard area.
But Tigers were awarded a penalty with quarter of an hour to go, Michael O’Brien thumping past Ayres, but any hopes of a comeback were extinguished when Davis squared into Max Sparrow to secure his first senior goal for the club. F/T: 11-1
