What a week! a fantastic achievement, particularly after the depressing finish to our first season in the Southern League three years ago.
The team have been outstanding, but I think all the fans would want to pay tribute to the massive efforts put in at all levels in the club: management, Committee, volunteers (three cheers for the Hooped Hut and the burger bar!)and all the other players in our 21 other teams. You've all done us proud this season, and made it possible to push forward up the divisions!
Someone said on this message board a year or so ago that it was a pity the first team did not adequately reflect the club's new standing: well, I think they can now say that we have a first team who are really going places. Oxford City has a great tradition of success and also the 'bouncebackability' factor to ride out blips like 1988 and 2005.
Congratulations all round! We can get out the roadmaps to see how to get to Stourbridge, Rugby, etc. Oh, and there's Banbury and Brackley for next season's derbies
