ALL STARS 1 #oufc 4 In all the excitement of the goals I neglected to mention Raynes coming on for Cox to play as a holding midfielder.

GOAL! ALL STARS 1 #oufc 4 (Potter 79) Here we go! Constable plays in Potter, who slides a shot just inside the post. Tidy.

— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
1:32am
ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 Brad Hilton (of Seacoast Utd Phantoms) comes on for Damian Batt. It's just a run-out, he's not signed for the U's.

ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 Great chance for an equaliser as Evans misjudges a header, but Ryan Malone slides a shot wide.

ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 We're into the final half hour. This is where the U's have faded in their last 2 games, let's see what happens tonight.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
1:20am
ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 Craddock comes off, good for him to get an hour under his belt. Sean Rigg replaces him.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
1:16am
ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 Decent run from Potter, but his shot lacks power and the keeper gathers comfortably.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
1:07am
ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 Double change for United as the 2nd half begins. Constable and Potter on for Smalley and Pittman.

HT: ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 Goals for Craddock and Pittman put the visitors on top at the break.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:53am
GOAL! ALL STARS 1 #oufc 2 (Pittman 44) Lovely stuff. Forster-Caskey floats a ball over the defence and Pittman absolutely lashes it in.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:48am
ALL STARS 1 #oufc 1 Long diagonal ball is missed by the full back and falls for Smalley. Great hit on the volley, six inches wide.

— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:41am
GOAL! ALL STARS 1 (Jones 31) #oufc 1 Tourists in front for less than a minute. Hint of offside as Eddie Jones runs in and lobs Brown.

12:39am
GOAL! ALL STARS 0 #oufc 1 (Craddock 30) The breakthrough comes. Long ball down the right, Pittman gets in and crosses for Craddock to score.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:34am
ALL STARS 0 #oufc 0 First action for Wayne Brown, who blocks from Jelovac. He was offside, though.

ALL STARS 0 #oufc 0 Craddock has a dig from 25 yards, turned round the post Hollywood-stylee by the keeper.

12:22am
ALL STARS 0 #oufc 0 First opening for the visitors. Pittman gets in the box and crosses, ball falls to Craddock, whose effort is saved.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:18am
ALL STARS 0 #oufc 0 Quiet start here, triallists Evans and Tafazoli look pretty assured as a centre back pairing though.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:10am
ALL STARS 0 #oufc 0 Tourists almost off to a flyer after 40 secs - Smalley charges down a goal kick, but it goes wide.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012

ALL STARS 0 #oufc 0 And we are go.

12:08am
#oufc almost ready to go here. There's baseball happening in the stand behind us, we really are in the US, folks.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:03am
There's a smattering of #oufc fans in here. Some with union jacks, which they wave as the team are read out. It's just like the Olympics.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 31 July 2012
12:00am
Third game on the US tour for #oufc and we've got the third different kit combo. Yellow shirts, white shorts, white socks. Variety.

The 16-year-old is highly rated by Seacoast and impressed coming off the bench on Friday. Massive blow, he looks badly injured. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 30 July 2012
11:57pm
Good to see a few of you are still in the land of the living. Sad note for Jordan Misiri, who has been carried off during the warm-up.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 30 July 2012
11:53pm
Tonight's opponents are the Jim Dedeus All Star XI. Selected from clubs across New England's Premier Development League. #oufc
— @OxfordMailOUFC 30 July 2012
11:47pm
A few goals wouldn't hurt for #oufc either. They've created plenty of chances on tour so far, but have scored only three goals in two games.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 30 July 2012
11:44pm
Top of #oufc's agenda tonight - no injuries. They've been knock-free so far and getting through here unscathed would be a big result.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 30 July 2012
11:44pm
So, the three triallists start for the first time on tour. Jon-Paul Pittman and Tom Craddock also in the XI, either side of Deane Smalley.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 30 July 2012

#oufc subs: Clarke, Raynes, Wright, Constable, Potter, Rigg

No doubt Chish and Le Knob will find lots of negatives in this perfomance.
