Training on Thursday 30th August
We are training as usual on Thursday, 7pm sharp at The Closes, Cumnor.
It is essential all that available attend this session ahead of our first friendly on Sunday 2nd against Deddington. It's likely to be a tough game but we've done really well against them in the two previous years so they are expecting a hard game themselves.

Training 7pm Thursday 16th August
We will continue our summer training at The Closes, Cumnor on Thursday 16th starting at 7pm sharp. There was a good turnout last week so are hoping for similar numbers on Thursday.
There's two pre-seasons arranged so far with details posted below and we're hoping for a third organised soon. We think friendlies are better than tournaments to get match practice before the start of the season, at least there's no hanging about in the rain.

Radley tournament and Kidlington
Well done to the lads that played and won the Radley tournament today. It was a great victory and thoroughly deserved.
The selection for the 5/6 a side tournaments have been based on those who responded quickest - and the ones who pestered the most! Apologies to those that didn't get to play, they were all well over subscribed.
The next tournament is a big one and it's this Sunday, 24th June at Kidlington. It's 11 a side and we are allowed 14 players. It is first come first served and an indication of the squad we are likely to play next season, so please let me know your availability as soon as possible. Please contact me via the management or text my mobile on 07785 746756
