Oxford United welcome Shrewsbury Town to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday and will be welcomed on to the pitch by our Guard of Honour from Kingston Colts
Kingston Colts are a village team founded in the early 70's and now have teams in almost all under 16 age groups as well as a men's team. The two age groups representing the club on Saturday are the Under 9s and the Under 12s.
The under 9s are in their third season as a team with many of the boys going to the same primary school, 11 boys have been with the team since they began in 2020, with three new players joining this season. There is a great team spirit amongst the boys and parents alike which has helped the journey to date be an enjoyable one with plenty of wins but more importantly smiles and enjoyment along the way.
The under 12's are in their 6th season. The team members have changed significantly over the seasons as has the coaching staff but having fun and ensuring children get pitch time to express themselves has remained a key part of the team's ethic. The team members come from many different schools and areas, but group together well with an excellent team spirit which was showcased in the Cup the team won during last season.
