Oxford United U18s host local rivals Swindon Town at the training ground on Saturday in the Youth Alliance League (KO 11am).
After an excellent 2-0 victory away at Exeter City last time out, the young U’s sit second in the league going into Saturday’s game. Youth Team coach Leon Blackmore-Such told us:
“We sit three points off Bournemouth who didn’t play on Saturday. They play on Tuesday and then we go into the derby. The boys are aware and from my point of view and Chris Hackett’s, it’s a fixture the fans always look for, the boys know what it means, and we’ll be ready for it.”
Match Information
