Performance of the day must go to the U14 Ds with their 2-1 victory over Wellingborough U14 Bs whilst the U14 Bs lost 1-3 to Wellingborough As. The U15 Ds battled well against tough opposition in Wellingborough U15 Bs, whilst the U15 Bs played some good football despite their 0-2 defeat to Wellingborough U15 As.
Over at Cox’s Field the 5th XI lost 0-4 to Radley College on this occasion, whilst the 4th XI missed a number of opportunities in their 0-2 defeat. Goals from Charlie Britton, Archie Baker, Matthew Vine and Cameron Yu helped the 3rd XI to a 4-0 win, whilst the 2nd XI also won 4-0, Aidan Cloney once again amongst the goals.
The 1st XI found themselves ahead twice with goals from Jack Heath and Jasper Rolls but let Wellingborough back into the game as they were pegged back and the game in the balance at 2-2. A fine Jasper Rolls free kick mid-way through the second half secured a deserved victory for Abingdon, 3-2 the final score.
The Football Club now looks forward to midweek fixtures against Stowe School before the U16 As face Oxford United U15s under lights at Abingdon United Football Club on Thursday.
