Young U’s Ready For Derby Day

Oxford United U19s host local rivals Swindon Town U19s on Saturday in the Youth Alliance League.

Kick off is at 11AM at the Bangkok Glass Training Ground.

Both sides have three points after two games in the South West Division, with the U’s looking to kick on after last minute defeat to Bristol Rovers a fortnight ago.

Coach Chris Hackett said

“The boys have had a mixed start to the season and it’s a great opportunity to go and get another three points to kick on for the season in the derby.

“The players and staff know what the fixture means and the boys have been excellent in training the last 14 days to prepare for this weekend".

The U's will be without striker Josh Iheanacho who has joined Aylesbury United on a work experience loan.
