Boss Hodges inspires Jets to a fightback

An inspirational half time talk from manager George Hodges turned the game for Oxhey Jets as they came back from a goal down to trounce Sun Postal 4-1.
Jets had wasted a succession of chances and then received a blow on the stroke of half time as one of their former players, Chris Bellotti, broke clear to put Sun 1-0 up.
"The boys were down at half time but George stayed calm, lifted them and they responded," said Jet's John Elliott.
Paul Eggleton levelled after 65 minutes and Jets won the game with three goals in six minutes in the closing stages.
Gary Page toe-poked them in front, Eggleton's low drive made it 3-1 and Darryn Stewart ended his poor run with the fourth.
"We were poor but they were the best Jets team we've played. They should have been well in front before we scored and could have had ten," admitted Sun's Tom Barber.
