Quality strike from Julio.

: Another entertaining game with our old friends
: and rivals. The game finished all square at
: 1-1 with a late equaliser, thanks to a 30
: yard thunderbolt from Kidlington's Craig
: Simpson that gave City's Colin Fleet no
: chance.
: The first half mainly belonged to City.
: Andy Marriott had a header cleared of the
: line & Julio Baressi had an effort hit
: the post. Kidlington's Gary Parker had a 25
: yard effort which was turned away from Colin
: Fleet. City then took a fully deserved
: lead just before half-time, when Julio
: Barresi picked the ball up 30 yards out and
: weaved his way past 2 men, and fired in to
: the bottom corner.
: The 2nd half then started in much the same
: as the first with City dominating a fair
: share of the pocession, with Julio Barresi
: having a couple of headed chances that went
: just pass the post, and the best chance fell
: to Paul Spittle, who couldn't quite connect
: with Chris Fontaine's cross into an empty
: net. Kidlington then started to dominate
: the middle part of the game, and a couple of
: good chances for them went beckoning. City
: could not kill off the game with a 2nd, so
: it would need something special to get
: passed the stubborn back four and Fleety.
: Unfortunately it came with 8 minutes
: remaining. As I said earlier an absolute
: screamer from 30 yards from Kidlington's
: Craig Simpson absolutely flew into the top
: corner, giving Fleety no chance. The last 8
: minutes turned into a bit of a stalemate, as
: it looked like both sides accepted the draw
: wasn't a bad result in the end.
:
: FINAL SCORE: OXFORD CITY 1 KIDLINGTON 1
:
: Although disappointed that we didn't win the
: game, a draw was not a bad result. It still
: keeps us unbeaten for the season, and with
: Wantage only drawing last night to
: Shrivenham, it means Kidlington & City
: are still 1st & 2nd.
:
: Team: Fleet, Pagano, Tutton, Marriott,
: Lee, Fontaine, Dark, Spittle, Orlando,
: Rodney, Barresi. Subs: Holden, Southam,
: Carroll, Jennings.
:
: Next game is next Wednesday away to Chippy
: Old Boys in the 2nd round of the Oxfordshire
: Veterans Cup, kick off 7.45PM.
:
: P.S. Thought the Kidlington linesman in his
: 80's lycra aerobic shorts did a good job???
: Well done Turns.
