Raponi wraps it up

March 15, 2005

United breezed into the Oxfordshire Senior Cup final this evening with a convincing win over Thame United at Court Place Farm, despite going a goal down. The final scoreline could have been more convincing than 5-2, but some wayward finishing from United’s forward, plus some desperate defending from the Thame defence, kept the score down.  more ]

Clearing the Mansfield

March 12, 2005

A reconstituted United strikeforce carved up the Mansfield defence as the Us swept to a deserved win, that should have been even more emphatic. Indeed, but for a rash tackle by Jon Ashton in stoppage time to concede a penalty, converted by Colin Larkin, Oxford might even have achieved that rarest of very rare things:  more ]

Waiting for the Mansfield

March 11, 2005

United travel to Field Mill tomorrow to take on Mansfield in a fixture that has lost its importance for the Yellows, and is of no significance to Oxford either. United will be keen to reverse recent fortunes, which has seen them lose four of their last five games, and individual players will have the desire  more ]

Yet another depressing defeat for the Fever

March 8, 2005

On Saturday Raging Fever lined up against Grimsby fans to see if we could put together a winning run.

However, as we were lacking  more ]

Get Carterton

March 8, 2005

Oxford United strolled into the semi-finals of the Oxfordshire Senior Cup this evening, seeing off a determined challenge from Carterton. The game started brightly, and Oxford were quick to stamp their authority on the game, and Carterton rarely troubled Bradie Clarke in the Oxford goal. United took the lead after just nine minutes, as Danny  more ]

Quizlings

March 7, 2005

At the OxVox quiz night, held at the Priory and ? this evening, the Rage On team lost its crown. The reigning champions put on a good showing to come second of the seven teams, but lost by just three points to the night’s winning team. It was a team representing Oxford United who somehow  more ]

No Grim fairy tale

March 5, 2005

For the third time in four games United lost 2-1, and in all three defeats the Us were a goal ahead. Today, Grimsby were the victors, and Lucas Cominelli gave Oxford the lead with a long-range strike in the 34th minute; his first Oxford goal. His shot was the first time either side even vaguely  more ]

Dog day afternoon

March 3, 2005

This Saturday there is a meaningless end-of-season mid-table clash at the KasStad, between United and Grimsby, one place above the Us. It is possible, although extremely unlikely, that a bizarre sequence of results could see Oxford still in contention for a play-off place in a couple of months, but breath won’t be held in this  more ]

Moose fever

February 28, 2005

Moosenet (Cambridge) 3 Raging Fever 7 Raging Fever got back to winning ways in emphatic style by despatching a poor Cambridge team on Coldhams Common on Saturday morning. Starting brightly, Fever took an early lead following some neat passing on the left hand side of the pitch; Andy Hill controlled a lofted ball over the  more ]
