Oxford United U18s host AFC Wimbledon in the semi-final of the EFL Youth Alliance Cup at the Training Ground on Saturday (KO 11am).
It’s another big game in the calendar for Oxford United U18s as they look to progress to the regional final of the EFL Youth Cup.
The youngsters have been in excellent form in cup competitions this season, having reached the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup this year – equalling the club record in doing so – whilst also setting up Saturday’s semi-final at the training ground. The young U’s beat rivals Swindon before running out 5-1 winners against Luton Town in the quarter finals in December to reach this stage.
