Amine to stay

March 21, 2005

Amine Karam, who has put in a couple of excellent performances for United’s reserves, has signed a one-month contract at the club, allowing him to be considered for the first team.

Basham brace bashes Boston

March 19, 2005

Two goals from in-form striker Steve Basham were enough to see United beat Boston at the KasStad this afternoon in a game that resembled a mid-table, end-of-season, Division Four fixture, which is exactly what it was. In the 20th minute Basham was set free by Tommy Mooney, but shot over when well placed. Ten minutes  more ]

Ready for the tea party

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.

Clearing the Mansfield

March 12, 2005

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.

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.

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.

Quizlings

March 7, 2005
