City Trivia...

[ChrisB]

Now I know we've all got plenty of other things to concern us at the present, but...
if your thoughts stray to The Hoops for a few minutes here's some trivia to get you wondering.

[1] As the season may now be over, and the results possibly expunged from the record, who would be the top scorer if no more games were played?

[2] Craig King has kept five clean sheets this season: there have been seven clean sheets in total. Who kept the other two?

[3] Against which three sides have The Hoops completed league doubles this season?

[4] Which of the clubs that The Hoops have played this season have they faced most often in competitive matches in the past?

[5] Since leaving The White House, The Hoops have only reached double figures in one competitive match. Who was this FA Cup tie against, and what FA Cup record was broken in that game?

[6] During November 1971 The Hoops faced Alvechurch in a much-replayed FA Cup tie. Apart from The White House and Alvechurch's ground, which three grounds hosted this tie?

[7] In which league did Oxford City first compete?

[8] Oxford City reached this season's Oxfordshire Senior Cup Final, though it seems unlikely that it will be played. How many times before this have the Club reached the OSC Final?

[9] On May 4th 1912 The Hoops hosted Nottingham Forest in front of a large crowd at The White House to raise money for what national fund (the date is a clue)?

[10] Between 1959 and 1979, Jack Woodley played a record number of matches for the 1st XI. How many did he play (+/- 20?)
