Jules,
What's tough taggling??? Is this something you and Tash get up to? We'll have to send you to the same spelling school as Creedy is currently on.
I agree with you. I only played in the Oxon Senior Cup once, as most of my playing career was spent with sides that competed in the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup, but had great memories of playing the final at the Manor for Carterton in the final against City. Although we were underdogs on the night we took City to extra time, eventually losing on penalties (I scored mine by the way). Great memories though.
