U’s blast past Didcot

Michael Appleton can be pleased that the yellows have played three and won three in their preseason build up.

Just under 600 onlooking fans saw a youthful U’s team start the match before being replaced on the hour.

Teenager, James Roberts 17, who finally made the breakthrough for the visitors, turning in a crowded area before firing neatly into the far corner.
