Oxford United overcame stiff resistance from Thame United to produce a 2-0 win in the first OSC semi-final and book a place in the Final.
City face North Leigh in three weeks' time in the other SF.

Though the City website flags up next Saturday's match as the next home game, don't forget that Oxford City take on North Leigh at Marsh Lane in the second semi-final of the Oxfordshire Senior Cup on Tuesday (29/03) (k.o. 19.45).
This will be the eighth time the two clubs have met in the competition: City have won three of the previous seven.
The winners will face Oxford United in the Final, also to be played at Marsh Lane, on Tuesday, May 3rd (k.o. 19.45)

Several ex-City players in the North Leigh squad...should be a closely-fought match.

1-1 at half-time with Jefferson Louis getting one against one of his (many!) previous teams.

Three second half goals brought City level with North Leigh at four wins each against each other in this competition and propelled them into the final at the beginning of May.
COYHs !!

OCFC report HERE, and Oxford Mail report HERE. As the OM states, City would be aiming for a hat-trick of competition wins, something they've not done since the '60s-'70s when they won six in a row (though sharing the cup with Witney Town in the '70/'71 season.) The OCFC report has City as aiming for their 38th win in the competition. A few years 'previous' perhaps, as City at the moment have 34 wins + 1 shared. |

The final of the OSC has been brought forward by one week to Tuesday, April 26th (k.o. 19.45).
A chance for City to get even in the competition...in their previous meetings in the Final City have won 3 and United have won 4.

Does anyone know if this match will be live streamed? Don't know Joao, I'm afraid, nothing on the City website about the match. I'd have thought possibly not, but could be wrong. |

Well done City on making it a hat-trick of wins. Now 35 wins + 1 shared with Witney Town (1970/71).

We played well in an entertaining match between two teams who wanted to play football - quite a contrast with Saturday when one team concentrated on trying to stop the other from playing! It was a good advert for Oxford football. United have some quick, talented youngsters and City had to work hard to overcome them. We had the upper hand for most of the match. The only downside was the injury to Alfie Potter only minutes after coming on as a second-half sub. One heavy tackle and he had to go off again. Poor lad, he has had a tough season and now it looks like it is over.

Meant to add, it was good to see Canice Carroll back in action, and playing so well.

It would be interesting to know. I can only guess at about 400.
