United welcome Grays Athletic to Oxford tomorrow, in the latest instalment of this interesting season. Grays were second behind Oxford before Tuesday, after which a 2-0 defeat at Gravesend & Northfleet sent the Essex club tumbling down to 5th. This just shows how tight the competition is for the top places, and despite a five-point  [ more ]

Oxford United continued their excellent start to the season with a hard-fought, but deserved, 1-0 win over Exeter City last night. A Steve Basham goal after just seven minutes sent Oxford on their way, after Basham had been put clear by a pin-point Andy Burgess pass, which allowed Bash to go around keeper Martin Rice  [ more ]

Oxford United welcome Exeter City this evening as the Us try to extend, or at least preserve, their three-point lead at the top of the Conference. Exeter have had a disappointing time since their relegation from the League, often threatening to return to their previous status, but never quite managing it. Oxford don’t have a  [ more ]

Thanks to Rob Muskett for the report During a drunken night out at WorldNet I had stupidly agreed to arrange a Raging Fever game at Morecambe. I thought I was saved when it transpired that they didn’t have a team, but John Matthews kindly arranged for us to play Preston, one of the best teams  [ more ]

Three goals earned Oxford United three points at Morecambe this afternoon, in a game that, despite the convincing scoreline, was never comfortable for the Us. United had to weather some early pressure from the home side before Steve Basham latched onto a long clearance from Billy Turley to head the ball past Ryan Robinson in  [ more ]

Oxford United will need all of their new-found Conference experience when they visit Christie Park to take on Morecambe tomorrow. Morecambe are likely to be one of United’s main promotion challengers as the season unfolds, and Jim Smith will need all of his undoubted wisdom in order to maintain his side’s unbeaten record. The Shrimps  [ more ]

Last night United went two points clear at the top of the Conference, after beating a determined St Albans side 2-1 at home. Oxford had been reduced to ten men when Chris Hargreaves had been sent off in the 67th minute for an alleged two-footed tackle, but this setback hardly affected the home side’s dominance  [ more ]

United welcome St Albans City tonight, as the Us bid to return to the top of the Conference table. The game was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but was moved to the Friday night for no real sensible reason. However, that shouldn’t prevent a reasonably sized crowd from attending, even if the crowd will still be  [ more ]

Raging Fever 8 Weymouth 0 Report by John Matthews Raging Fever took on a keen, yet somewhat disorganised, Weymouth fans team at the Weymouth Sports Centre on Monday morning. Most of the Fever team had been painting the town red (or possibly Yellow) the night before, with particular highlights including ciders of various shades and  [ more ]

Oxford United so nearly lost their unbeaten record this season, as they fortuitously drew 1-1 at Weymouth this afternoon. In a turgid game of few chances, the home side took the lead five minutes from time, when United’s Gavin Johnson tried to head the ball back to goalkeeper Billy Turley. However, Johnson caught the ball  [ more ]
