youth

Oxford United Under 18s are looking to make it 10 league wins in a row as they welcome Portsmouth to the Oxford United Training Ground this Saturday for an 11:00am kick off.

The young U’s have had an incredible start to the year and extended that form last weekend by knocking out Plymouth in the Youth Alliance Cup and progressing to the last four. 

They will look to take their confidence into an important league clash this weekend as they continue to put pressure on leaders Luton Town. The Hatters remain top of the league by just one point, meaning all games from now to the end of the season are must-win encounters for both sides.

Portsmouth, on the other hand, have had a difficult season by their standards, sitting 12th in the league. They will be looking to bounce back after consecutive defeats in the league and try and climb into the top half.

The boys have been flying recently and with the first team playing on Friday, It’s a great opportunity to get down and support the youngsters.
