that Josh McConnell has returned from his loan spell at Kidlington Oxford City were crowned County Champions for the 16th time when they beat Kidlington Youth Ladies 4-0 at Thame United’s ASM Stadium this afternoon Two goals from top scorer Ellie White plus goals from Emma Donohoe and Kitty Crouch eased them past a battling Kidlington side to give them silverware at the end of an excellent season A dominant City peppered the Kidlington goal from the start with Crouch wide of the mark three times and the resolute Beth Dunbabin having to organise the already overworked Kidlington defence even before Donohoe opened the scoring  after 14 one-sided minutes with a 25 yard dipping effort that flew in to make it 1-0 and open the floodgates beating the onrushing keeper to steer the ball home and then a combination of some wayward finishing brave defending and a couple of good saves kept it at 2-0 at the break However  'Player of the Season' White was not to be denied her share of the glory and three minutes after the break confidently rolled home the penalty after being brought down by a weary looking Kidlington challenge then made it 4-0 after 61 minutes by stabbing the ball home as she once again raced clear of the defence She had done this six times already without hitting the target and her teammates proceeded to do it at least a further six after that but the scoreline didn't matter: job done and a reward for a season of hard work and commitment  A good crowd on a sunny afternoon and a well-deserved win to take home the trophy People in and around Kidlington can now reach out for mental health help and support thanks to the launch of a new Keystone Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub in the town centre The hub was officially opened by the Chair of Oxford Health NHS

services Plans are underway for another hub to open in Wantage mid-July 2024 David Walker said: “The Keystone hubs put mental health in the high street – literally in opening doors in the heart of the community for all to come in and get advice It’s a privilege to open our latest in Kidlington “Mental illness used to be hidden away in asylums and behind walls recognising mental distress as ailment to be treated openly “I would like to thank the team – including friends and colleagues from the voluntary sector and people who themselves have experience of mental illness — who have worked so hard to set up the Kidlington Keystone and all the other hubs in the county We’re all striving to make a difference to the lives of many local people.” Team Manager for the Oxford City and North-East

as Real Bedford ran out comfortable 3-0 winners at lowly Kidlington on Saturday afternoon (8 February) Those two goals alongside a Ben Stevens opener keeps Real top of Southern League Central Division One ahead of a chasing Berkhamsted side who won 1-0 against AFC Dunstable Kidlington were not expected to cause too many problems against a Real Bedford team who had already beaten them 5-1 at home this season although manager Rob Sinclair had noted in the week that four of those goals came from set pieces “They are tougher than their league table suggests” said Sinclair but his side were still too good for the Oxfordshire outlet as the Pirates maintain their lead at the top of the table It took just 16 minutes for Real to take the lead as Brett Longden’s inch perfect pass found playmaker Ben Stevens who made no mistake in firing in off the post for the opening goal The first of Evans’ two strikes came on the stroke of half-time as he found himself on the end of an Isaac Galliford corner to nod home the second for Sinclair’s men all but securing the three points at the interval came shortly into the second half as Josh Setchell once again proved dangerous in beating two defenders before squaring to an expectant Evans who tapped home the goal that put the tie to bed With twelve goals in Real Bedford’s last eight league games Evans is now marauding to the top of the division’s goal scoring charts and in doing so helps extends their unbeaten run in the league to seven games Rob Sinclair once again cited set piece practice on a difficult playing surface at Kidlington to come away with three goals and three points is pleasing “The game was done by half-time in terms of the way we played and created chances but if there’s one criticism it’s that we could have been a bit more ruthless but pleasing to take the three points We practiced our set piece routines on Tuesday and Thursday and have routines so they’re an important part of the game and something we take serious.” Real Bedford are back at the Ledger Stadium on Tuesday night (11 February) as they welcome Stotfold as they look to hold off the ever-consistent Berkhamsted in a title battle that

Content Labels Explained Kidlington Youth Football Club is home to more than 35 squads and 500 members and is currently the only club locally providing weekly training and playing provision for female footballers The club had extremely limited kitchen facilities meaning they could not cater for members and visitors with specific dietary requirements thanks to a £1,000 grant from Oxford United it has purchased new kitchen appliances and upgraded its existing facilities so it can offer vegetarian and alternative meal choices for the first time The boost was delivered as part of Oxford United’s Dreaming Spires project a community pledge to provide initiatives and activities as part of the Club’s new stadium delivery Chair of Kidlington Youth’s Vision Committee “Our kitchen facilities were very limited and before receiving this grant we had never served a vegetarian meal in our 59-year history “Being a club of more than 500 members this was clearly an issue and the funds we’ve received from Oxford United have been invaluable to us “The wider benefits of this are two-fold Most importantly we can now cater for everyone at the club as we have enough equipment in place to safely prepare different food groups without the risk of cross-contamination we’re also able to hire our clubhouse out for celebrations and to local community groups knowing we have an appropriate level of kitchen equipment in place “Enhancing this revenue stream will hopefully lead to more investment which will have a positive ripple effect on our members and the community A big thank you to everyone at Oxford United for choosing us as a winner.” The volunteer-run club operates teams from U5s to adults and is a formal partner of Oxford United in the Community via football-based holiday camps for children during school breaks Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at Oxford United “Catering for all dietary requirements among members and visitors is a positive step forward for Kidlington Youth FC and the club’s goal to create a fit-for-purpose community hub within its grounds “We’re pleased the grant has helped to enhance the clubhouse experience as part of our commitment to supporting our community.” Ten Oxfordshire-based not-for-profit organisations that support the provision of sport and physical activity as well as health and wellbeing programmes were selected by a judging panel to each receive a £1,000 grant from Oxford United The successful applicants demonstrated how the funding would help them make improvements and deliver more impact in our communities Oxford United’s Dreaming Spires project also covers a variety of other initiatives including work experience apprenticeship and employment opportunities for students and young professionals plus mental health support programmes It consists of five core elements which prioritise opportunity development and local legacy and is part of the Club’s plans to build a 16,000-capacity all-electric stadium north of Oxford
