Tonight (20th July) Uhlsport Hellenic Premier league side Kidlington FC take on Molten Spartan South Midlands League side Aylesbury United in a pre-season friendly match at Kidlington's Yarnton Road ground, K.O. 7-45pm.

Kidlington's 1st run out in a pre-season ended all square, 2 - 2 with Southern League outfit Woodford United last Saturday. Kiddie's goals in this one came from Sam Fincher and new boy Lance Williams. Kidlington Manger Gordon Geary said after the match that"he was very pleased with the application of his players and he learnt a lot about their willingness to keep going and compete".

Tonight's visitors are Buckinghamshire side Aylesbury Town who are famed by the media for their 'Duck Walk' goal celebration which was shown around the world, as Aylesbury went on to reach the Third Round Proper of the FA cup in 1994-95. Unfortunately they lost to then Premiership side Queen's Park Rangers at Loftus Road, but the 'Duck Walk' will always be remembered.

Next Wednesday (28th July) Kidlington will take Southern League side North Leigh at Yarnton Road, again K.O. 7-45pm.
Kildington have had many good games with 'Nor Lye' over the years. Now they are in the Southern League and it will be great to renew old friendships in this friendly match. From a Kidlington perspective, who can forget the fantastic Oxfordshire Senior Cup semi-final of a couple of years back when North Leigh finally defeated Kiddie in extra time at Court Place Farm to stake their place in the final, they ultimately went on to lift the trophy for the 1st time in their history

Both these matches give Kidlington a chance to test their players, new and old against higher league opposition. Everyone at the club is looking forward to what promise to be good entertaining matches.


Tues 20th July - Aylesbury United - 7.45pm
Wed 28th July - North Leigh - 7.45pm

Everyone at the club knows Warren and appreciates just how committed a man he is to Kidlington FC and especially veterans football".

This is my home town club and we already have ideas and plans for what we would like to do. We have learnt a lot this term and will strive to build on this and of course endeavour to bring some silverware back here to Yarnton Road”
