U18s Begin Merit League Campaign

Oxford United U18s are at home to AFC Wimbledon on Saturday morning for their opening Merit League fixture.

Kick off is at 11am at the Bangkok Glass Training Centre. Pease note that this fixture was switched from its original venue at Wimbledon

The U's come into the game off the back of their historic FA Youth Cup Quarter Final tie against Manchester City, and will look to react after suffering defeat.

Last time the young U's took on Wimbledon, they beat the London side on penalties in an enthralling Youth Alliance Cup quarter-final.

Coach Chris Hackett said

"It's always a good game against Wimbledon, we know it will be physical and the boys will have to stand up to that. We want to go and get a result to start the Merit League strong and make sure we can all move on from what was a wonderful cup run that we are all very proud of."
