A YOUNG Oxford United side will face North Leigh in a friendly in memory of loyal fan Lloyd Calcutt.

The U's Under 19s kick-off their pre-season programme with a trip to Eynsham Park on Tuesday, July 13.

And the game will honour United and North Leigh supporter Calcutt, who died in January after contracting Covid-19.
