of the Gambian Gunjur knock-out
competition
I know we've heard about the Irish Oxford United stars team before, but has this Gambian team ever been mentioned?

Wow - I feel that a Raging Fever tour to Gambia should be arranged.

Obviously unrelated to our own OUFC, as apparently they won a penalty shootout...

I take it none of you have bought (or at least read) Oxford United: Miscellany.
Perhaps you should?

He's Alive!!!!
Consdering they only lost the final on penalties two years ago, a QF is the least to be expected.

knocked out on penalties
Commit FC progressed to the semifinal following their 4-3 post-match penalty shootout win over Oxford United FC in the first quarterfinal game following a 1-1draw at the Gunjur Nyamina Football Field on Friday.

Anyone know of any other Oxford Uniteds around the world? I know of one in Northern Ireland and I had it in my mind that there was one in Hong Kong but can't find any mention on the internet. Any others?

Not a football club, but during the Pakistan match fixing scandal, one of the players was pictured playing against St Lukes Cricket Club, who happen to have a very "similar" badge to ours.

I don't think it was ever resolved as to why.

There is a thread entitled "Evening Standard Mohammad Amir" that covers this but reaches no conclusion.
I suppose an email to
info@stlukescricketclub.co.uk may throw some light on the subject.

The club used to play a game of circket once a year, maybe this was an old kit thing. Sold for charity...

What's going on? I thought we were knocked out? Or has a league fixture replay affected the cup date?
The OUFC manager's comments have a familiar ring to them though.
