A SUCCESSFUL annual Oxford Forest Hills Football (FHFC) 5-a-side was held on Wednesday, May 1.

Almost 1 300 aspirant footballers, from U6 to U17, and a ladies’ division took the field over for the day and gave their all.

The event was hosted over one day with the juniors playing in the morning and the seniors in the afternoon.

Hosted by Dave Guselli, the players and supporters were entertained throughout the day with vibrant music to keep the atmosphere at a high!

As a special twist, this year featured ‘The Oxford Finals Field’ where the final matches were played on a dedicated field complete with field branding and a grandstand to create an atmosphere that really made the day that much more special.

Dave Hewison, the FHFC chairman, said they were incredibly proud of the tournament they had managed to put together, and they were sure that all of the children had a great time.

“The games were played in a fantastic spirit, and we congratulate all who took part. We would also like to extend our thanks to our title sponsors, Oxford Freshmarket, as well as to Brent Civil and Peckish Foods for the assistance that they gave us on the day. We look forward to doing it all again next year.”
