Oxford United’s under 18s were beaten 2-0 by Newport County this morning in their first home game of the Youth Alliance season.
Having won their opening game away at Swindon the U’s failed to build on a promising start today as Coach Chris Hackett told us
“We started strongly enough and had the first couple of chances of the game but then we didn’t build on that.
"Obviously it is very early days and its only our second game but you need that consistency in your performances and maybe a result like this early on just allows us to get a few points across nice and early for the rest of the season.”
