City prepare for Stratford Town test

July 15, 2022

Oxford City’s pre-season continues to gather pace with a trip to Stratford Town on Saturday (Kick-off 3:00pm).

The Hoops have played two Sky Bet League One outfits in pre-season so far with run outs against Oxford United and Wycombe Wanderers.

Now, City are on the road again as Ross Jenkins’ side travel to the Midlands to face off against another tough opponent. 


The Gaffer's thoughts: 

Jenkins told us: “We’re expecting another tough game.”
“They’re going to apply themselves. I know the manager, I know what they’re about and it’s not a game we’re going to take lightly. 

“We need to apply ourselves like we did against Oxford United and Wycombe and we need to go out and work for the team. 

“It’s really important we address all of our games as we have done so far.”
