Just read this in the Oxford Mail (unfortunately my local rag)

"On Sunday a charity match is being held between a Swindon Town Veterans Side and a Banbury and District Veterans team at Bicester Town Football Club"

Im not sure what time this is kicking off and would have no idea of who would be playing in the vets team?

I think Iffy and Ian Woan are playing, and read somewhere that Alan McLoughlin is as well, not sure there are many other well known names though.

Went to this today and was a nice day out better than Brentford yesterday anyway.

We won 8-0 and won the BDLJFA Vets Charity Cup. Would say about 12 town fans there.
Line up included Iffy and Woan.
No Reeves or Phil King.

Iffy got the first goal and set up the second isn’t got a clue who got the rest. But they were running rings round them.

Got presented the cup with one of the Banbury players shouting got to win something this season!

I won 10 bottles of Stella on the raffle too, so all in all a good day.

Im quite sure Digby didn't but i'm useless and don't know about  the rest. PA system was very quiet too.
