Thame 1XI and Wallingford 2XI will renew their rivalry when they face each other in a rearranged fixture on Saturday, December 16th at 13:15. This match was originally scheduled for November 25th but was postponed due to adverse weather conditions.

Thame 1XI, currently in second place in the league table, will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record and close the gap on leaders Buckingham 1XI.

The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams boasting strong squads and a determination to win. Thame 1XI will rely on their attacking prowess, while Wallingford 2XI will hope to capitalise on Thame's occasional defensive lapses.

Here are some key points to watch out for in the match:

  • Thame 1XI's attacking threat: Thame 1XI are a potent attacking force, with a number of players capable of scoring goals. They will be looking to break down Wallingford 2XI's defense with their pace, dribbling skills, and passing ability.
  • Wallingford 2XI's defensive resilience: Wallingford 2XI have shown signs of improvement in their defensive organisation in recent weeks. They will need to maintain their focus and limit Thame 1XI's scoring opportunities if they want to secure a positive result.
  • Thame 1XI's determination to win: The visitors are highly motivated to secure a victory after their recent postponements. They will be determined to make up for lost time and maintain their position at the top of the league table.
  • Wallingford 2XI's home advantage: The hosts will have the advantage of playing in front of their home crowd. This could provide them with a much-needed boost in morale and help them to overcome the challenge posed by Thame 1XI.
