Two Clubs who will meet each other at least twice in Uhlsport Hellenic League competition this season will also meet in a Pre-Season friendly but this time at Under 18 level.

Clanfield 85 are continuing their active youth development programme this season and a number of their Allied Counties Youth League squad played at First Team level last season with the expectation that the Development Squad will in the main consist of the young players from the Youth Squad this season. Similarly New College Academy Swindon have for a number of years given young players the pathway into Hellenic League football and beyond with excellent development and coaching skills. The two Clubs will meet at Clanfield’s UK Building Plastics Direct Arena, Radcot Road on Wednesday evening kick off 7-30pm. Spectators will be very welcome.

The young Robins presently have two other quality pre-season matches arranged both at home. On August 10th Rushden and Diamonds will provide the opposition whilst on August 24th Oxford United Academy will be the visitors. Both games are due to kick off at 7-30pm and again spectators will be very welcome.
