I see Oxford City Lions Futsal team are about half-way through their season having won 5 and lost 5 of their games, and are in mid-table in the National Super League. Are they still playing at Faringdon(?)?

Hi Chris.
Nope, now playing at Oxford Brookes University Sports Center.
As I understand it. EG and his staff are also coaching the university futsal team as part of an agreement with OCFC and JMs Ignite sport group.
Consistency has been the biggest issue this season. When they play well they could beat anyone but when they play badly they are hopeless. I've been to 2 home games and seen both extremes. The big win against Manchester and the big lose again Birmingham.
Speaking to someone last game I found out abit about the current situation in and now as the dust has pretty much settled on the TAG affair or at least well on the way to doing so they are attempting to bring futsal back under OCFCs wing abit more. Publicise it abit more etc.
Generally more sponsorship is coming into futsal but it's a long grind for most clubs and the Lions are not an exception.
Getting more people participating and nurturing players is key.
Speaking of which EG is off to Spain again this week for a Christmas/NY tournament with his prized Lions (now under 15) youth team.

Thanks for that, I'd forgotten to look at the Full-Time scores for several weeks so hadn't seen how things were going. Glad to hear they're back in Oxford. Hope the U15s get on well in Spain.
