Old Georgians Men's 1XI will take on Cardiff & Met in an eagerly anticipated away clash at the Welsh Institute of Sport. Last season, OGs put on a commanding display in Cardiff with a 9-1 victory, showcasing their attacking prowess through standouts like Sam Ward and Alan Forsyth. This year, OGs remain unbeaten and at the top of the league, hungry to extend their winning streak and secure another three points.
Cardiff & Met’s season has been a mixed bag, yet they’ve shown resilience in several matches. Their recent emphatic 7-0 victory over Richmond and narrow wins over Southgate (3-1) and Oxted (3-2) demonstrate a team capable of capitalising on opportunities and pulling off impressive results. However, Cardiff has also struggled against higher-scoring teams, such as in their 1-6 loss to Surbiton, which exposes some defensive vulnerabilities OGs may look to exploit.
For OGs, who have averaged over six goals per game this season, maintaining pressure in the attacking third will be key. Ward, Forsyth, and Proctor will aim to break through Cardiff’s backline, and with James Albery anchoring a solid defence, OGs are poised to control possession and momentum from the start. Yet, Cardiff’s recent form suggests they won’t go down easily, especially after their strong performances at home.
Pushback is set for 18:00, and fans can look forward to an intense battle as OGs look to cement their position at the top of the Premier Division.
