Oxford United Women will aim to extend their lead at the top of the FA WNL Southern Premier Division on Sunday as they host local rivals Swindon Town at 2:00pm.
Liam Gilbert’s side have won all six opening matches in the league this season and are yet to concede a goal in what has been a fantastic few weeks.
United come into Sunday on the back of an impressive 1-0 win away to second-place AFC Bournemouth, despite having ten players for the entirety of the second-half.
Local rivals Swindon Town won promotion into the third tier last season and currently sit tenth in the table. Last time out, the Robins earned a point in a goalless draw at home to AFC Wimbledon.
Road Closures
Sunday’s match takes place on the same day as the Oxford Half Marathon, which means several roads near the MGroup Stadium will be closed leading up to kick off.
Marsh Lane and both A40 westbound and eastbound slip roads will be closed from 7:30am until 1:30pm.
For supporters wishing to arrive before 1:30pm, vehicle access to the MGroup Stadium is still available for vehicles travelling southbound from Elsfield Road / Woodeaton Lane onto Marsh Lane.
