Sunday 4th September: U18 v Shrivenham & Watchfield

This was a tough start to the season, against last season's champions, who had been strengthened by some new signings. The first half was tight but we were made to pay by some superior finishing, to trail 3-0 at the break.

The second half started much better and Jack eventually capitalised on a defensive mix up, before Jonny scored a well-taken free kick. Unfortunately injuries and tired legs put paid to the comeback and Shrivenham went on to score too many in the last few minutes.

Coaches' Award: Matt R - who had a dominant game in midfield

Squad: Ollie, Will (captain), Toby, Mason, Matt C, Matt J, Frank, Jonny, JonJon, Jack P, Matt R, Jake and Dan
