No real news on the #oufc triallists. Lewis praised their attitude, but difficult to see how there's the budget for more than one of them.

Mickey Lewis delighted for Craddock to get a couple of goals - apparently he'd been banging them in during training this afternoon. #oufc

City boss Mike Ford pleased with the dispaly but felt both #oufc goals should've been ruled out. 1st for a foul on the keeper by Marsh...
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 August 2012
...and the 2nd because in the build-up to the #oufc penalty the ball went out. Have to agree with him on the 2nd - I've seen photo evidence.

Both stes of coaching staff fairly satisfied with that. Here's the match report:

OCFC 0 #oufc 0 Stoppage in play for Tafazoli to receive some treatment. Almost 30 mins gone, not much in this so far.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 August 2012

OCFC 0 #oufc 0 Malone in hard again, this time on Kamara. The triallist limps away but should be OK.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 August 2012
8:02pm
OCFC 0 #oufc 0 The ref has a quiet word with Malone after a robust tackle on Craddock. No harm done.
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 August 2012
7:59pm

— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 August 2012

City have had a bit of a headache with keepers this summer. Warren Carter's in tonight, but no one knows where he's from. Classic pre-season
— @OxfordMailOUFC 10 August 2012
