Town Vets continue their Vets Cup campaign on Wednesday night when they welcome Carterton Town Vets to the Cinder Lane Stadium, the home of Fairford Town. This is the second match in Group A for both sides, who both lost their opening fixture and will be hoping to collect three points and keep their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages alive.
After another week without a fixture, Town Vets are back in action on Wednesday night when they travel to Clanfield FC to face Witney Royals Vets in the CEO Challenge Veterans Cup. The format of the competition sees four groups of four teams, each playing each other once, with the winners and runners-up of each group going onto the knock out quarterfinals.
After the tough midweek fixture against Thatcham Development, Town faced an unbeaten Wantage. We were keen to give a good account of ourselves and cause an upset.
Faringdon Town take on Wantage Town Dev at Tucker Park on Saturday (3 pm KO). New to the league this season Wantage have started well, with 3 wins from 3 in the league. Scoring eleven and conceding 3 in the process. Luke Ballard, Richie Claydon & Keiron Kerby are on 3 goals apiece in both league & cup. They managed 6 in their last outing against Clanfield 85 Dev. #comeonthedon
A midweek cup game away at Thatcham town for us this week. We seemed in good spirits and keen to get stuck in. We started well, looked sharp and organised but knew we were playing a good young, fit side. In the first ten minutes Thatcham started to get on the ball more than us and created their first chance, a ball slipped through for the striker, he rounded the keeper but his shot was saved comfortably off the line by Will Oglesby.
Town made the tough journey to top of the table Moreton after our last 3 games Town felt we had nothing to fear.
