City Vets face a stern test at Shrivenham tonight and yet again are thankful for their versatile squad. With several players missing, including Joey Creed who has pulled his hamstring (not sure how!) and is having to pack for his holidays tonight... Keep an eye out for any talent whilst your their mate.
Despite that major setback Young Kenny still has a strong squad to choose from and is hoping that his boots can stay in the kit bag!
Squad from Pagano, Warmington, Martin, Tutton, Cooper, Orlando, Gills, Clark, Dore, Spittle, Pearce, Holden, Maciak, Parsons, Kimber + 1

City Vets glorious unbeaten run came to an end last night as they went down one nil to a very strong Shrivenham side.
With a few key players missing City started with a 4-4-2 formation for the first time this season and dominated large periods of possession in the first half. Olly and Warmo got plenty of ball down the wings and put in several teasing crosses, the best of which Shaun Pearce nearly connected with.
Despite the possession Shrivenham always looked dangerous and got their rewards when they broke away just before half time and took the lead. The goal unfortunately had a suspicion of offside about it, but with Young & Old Kenny conferring on the side line this will never be known for sure.
The second half followed a similar pattern with everything including the kitchen sink and the dishwasher being thrown at the home side. The only time City didn't break through the referee kindly pulled back play for a City free kick, despite Stewy Parsons slotting home when through on goal.
This was the last clear site on goal for City and despite a spirited effort could not get the equaliser they deserved.
City travel to Chinnor next week which will be a great opportunity for the boys to bounce back.
Man of the Match; Andy Martin - Tackle of the Night - Robert Tutton (I thought the booking was harsh) - Thought of the night - Come back Specky, we need you!!!
