On Saturday we travel to Paulton Rovers in Somerset to play in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the Emirates FA Cup, k.o. 3:00pm.

Last Saturday Kidlington played the league leaders Taunton Town at Yarnton Road and drew 2 - 2, our goals coming from Darius Browne and Anaclet Odhiambo.

At Kidlington everyone's eyes are now turned toward the FA Cup and the £4500 prize money that's at stake which for clubs at our level is all important and can make a vast difference having the extra cash available during a long competitive season.

Paulton Rovers sit just above Kidlington in the league table so this should be a good evenly matched affair and should it end all square after 90 minutes the game will go to a replay at Yarnton Road next Wednesday evening, kick off 7:45pm. For those wishing to travel and support the team the address of the ground is The Athletic Ground, Winterfield Road, Paulton, BS39 7RF.

For this match Manager Julian McCalmon is hoping to have several of his injured players back in contention. Declan Benjamin, Eddie & Eric Odhiambo, Lance Williams, Lewis Coyle & Mark Janes have all been working hard on their fitness and all have a good chance of making the squad. One player definitely back in contention is Keeper Sam Warrell who missed The Greens last couple of games because of family commitments. Elliott Osbourne-Ricketts will miss out as he serves the second of a 3 match suspension, while Ben Willoughby also sits this one out with a suspension after receiving 2 yellow cards last Saturday.

Squad For Saturday - Tetek, Warrell, Quainton, Eddie Odhiambo, Wharton, Franklin, Brown, Organ, Castle, Gabbidon, Eric Odhiambo, Williams, Coyle, Benjamin, Bell, Coyle, Anaclet Odhiambo, Janes, Browne, James, Martin.
