Oxford City welcome Easington Sports in the County Cup on Tuesday evening (k.o. 19.45). (Adults £5; Concessions £3; Students/U18s free).
This is the first time in over 50 years that the two clubs have met competitively. The last time was at the White House ground in 1970 in this competition when goals from Alan Pentecost, John Shufflebotham, Trevor Stokes and John Woodley saw City home to a 4-0 win.
City went on to beat Bicester Town 3-0 in the Final at The Manor.

I remember the time we played them in the Amateur Cup 1st Qualifying Round, back in 1963. City won 10-1 that time, but I expect there won’t be quite as many goals tomorrow!

Chris, do you happen to know whether that Alan Pentecost you mentioned was related to the Fulham full-back at the time, Mike Pentecost? I know that a subsequent 1970s Fulham full-back, John Fraser, was brought to City by Bobby Moore, who had played alongside him in the 1975 FA Cup Final.

So, in the '69/'70 season Alan went further with City in the FA Cup (to Round 2, against Swanseaa) than his professional brother Mike did with Fulham, as they lost 2-0 at Exeter!! |

So no banana-skin and an (eventually) comfortable win. Looks, from the Twitter 'commentary', that Ewan Clark had a good game in his first start for the 1st XI. It would be nice to see him getting an extended run.

It would be nice to see him getting an extended run. Yes, he was the best player on the park and has looked bright in his league cameos, a lot of promise I think |

We could of had many more goals, but for them defending well in numbers, their keeper made some exceptional saves, so well done to him.
