We have been in discussion with Oxford United FC and also Firoka Ltd to agree the details for this year's Presentation Night.

It has been a difficult process as Firoka Ltd put the price up by 400% from what we paid last year!

However, the OMBL has decided that the players would prefer to go to The Kassam Stadium rather than somewhere else so we have agreed to meet their demands. It should be noted that Oxford United have done everything they can to help but they have no control of Firoka Ltd.

It has been even more difficult due to the availability of the venue. The World Cup has meant that there are not many suitable or available dates.

The agreed dates are as follows:-

Monday 14th June:-

7.00 pm Under 9s, Under 10s.

8.30 pm Under 11s.

Tuesday 15th June:-

7.00 pm Referees, Under 12s, Under 13s.

8.30 pm Under 14s, Under 15s.

We have decided to stagger the times to avoid the severe congestion that we encountered last season. This should enable more people to get a seat and everybody to get a good view.

In order for us to be able to offer this venue we have had to increase the entrance fee to £2 per adult. Team Managers will be given a free pass.

Doors open at 6.00 on each day but entry to the main hall for the later sessions will be at 8.00 once the first group have exited.

Further details to follow.
