Oxford City A Vets v Faringdon Town Vets – 30-11-2017
So after a two-match break following a cancellation and a free week, the Vets are back in action tonight when they travel to Abingdon Town to face Oxford City A in the Hellenic Veterans Division One. Kick off at Culham Road is 7.45pm and the Town Vets are in confident mood after a run of 9 unbeaten league and cup games.
The hosts currently sit in 3rd position on 15 points from seven fixtures, having won 5 and lost 2, whilst Town have played the same number of league fixtures, sit in second with one point extra following 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. This match could have a real bearing on the promotion places with top of the table Witney Royals sitting four points clear of Town on 20 points, but having played three games more following their 2-1 victory over Goring United Vets last night.
Oxford City’s last fixture was against Royals, when they were blown away in the first half, 5-0 down at the break before eventually losing 6-2. Their leading marksmen are Jack Barrett and Chris Kent with six goals apiece in all competitions. Town will travel with a full squad of 16, with Craig ‘Gloria’ Gaynor, Mark ‘Archie’ Podbery and Steve ‘Pughead’ Pugh the only enforced absentees.
Squad From: Rudds, Glendeross, Legman, Norris, Damo, Sutty, Yatesy, Paulo, Smithy, Pat, Gav, Thommo, Matt, Kammy, Zippy, Five-Head.
