U2 - The Unforgettable Fire.

United back in the Football League

First bit of good news on the football front that I can report for years! This comes from the BBC's match report:

"Oxford United secured their place back in the Football League after a four-year absence with victory over York at rain-lashed Wembley. Two goals in the space of five first-half minutes put the U's in charge, Matt Green firing them in front from 18 yards with a neat half-volley. James Constable doubled their lead with a fierce left-foot drive. U's keeper Ryan Clarke fumbled in Ben Purkiss's cross to give York a lifeline only for Alfie Potter to wrap it up. Given that Oxford finished third in the Blue Square Premier, eight points clear of York, after topping the league for so much of the season, it was perhaps fitting that they went up."

This comes 24 years after their last Wembley visit when I was there to see them defeat QPR 3-0 and lift the Milk Cup. There has not been a great deal to celebrate since, so it was no wonder that 30,000 fans were in Wembley to will on the U's to victory. Click here for the full match report from the OUFC website.
