Match Preview

Today we travel to Didcot Town for the last away fixture of the season. Didcot Town are based in Didcot, Oxfordshire and are nicknamed ‘The Railwaymen’.

They were formed in 1907 when Didcot Village FC and Northbourne Wanderers joined forces to form Didcot Town Football Club.
One of the more important events in the club’s 100-year history was when the Railwaymen moved to their new Loop Meadow Stadium which was part of the redevelopment of Didcot Town Centre. For this to happen, Didcot Town were required to transfer from their old Station Road ground for the start of the 99/00 season and onto the continually increasing in size Ladygrove Housing Estate. This was situated on the other side of the railway-line which cut the town into two halves, ironically, it was only a few hundred yards away from their old pitch.

Didcot Town play on a grass pitch measuring 195 x 68 yards and have a home kit of read and white shirts, white shorts and red sock. Their away kit is blue and yellow shirts, blue shorts and yellow socks, and the goalkeeper wears a grey shirt, short and socks.

The last time we met Didcot was at home, and our first fixture of the new year where we drew 3-3. Didcot currently sit two points below us in the table, and are looking at taking that all- important final play off place. This is not going to be an easy game as both clubs have a lot to gain and a lot to lose.

We have Coleshill on the hunt and they are just 2 points below us, as well as Thame who are three points behind us. The results of those teams will be important, but a win for us and we could clinch that last play-off place.

Let’s hope for an entertaining and successful game

COME ON YOU ROYALS.
