Opponent Kidlington
Competition Southern League Division One Central
Last Time They Were Here… Rovers won by 2-1 in October 2016
Did you know… Kidlington has had a brass band since 1892, with earlier foundations dating back to at least the 1850s. The current band, Kidlington Concert Brass, was founded by the merger of Kidlington Silver Band and Oxford Concert Brass in 1992. It presents regular local concerts and has competed nationally in the highest grade for many years.
Kidlington Amateur Operatic Society (KAOS) was founded in 1977 and presents concerts of varied choral material in the village several times annually in addition to staging regular productions of musicals.
In the bar A whole day of football on Sky Sports kicks off at lunchtime with Fulham facing Wolves. After our match, join us again in the bar to watch Brighton host Arsenal at 5:30 before the late game where Watford entertain Chelsea. You didn’t want to go to the sales anyway did you?
On this day in Rovers history… The earliest recorded Boxing Day game in Rovers history was in 1899, when we beat Kempston Montrose by 6-2 in the Beds. & District League.
Between 1913 and 1995, Rovers have met Wootton Blue Cross twenty times on Boxing Day, winning only two of the encounters.
Rovers have not played at home on Boxing day since 2007.
The last five Boxing Day games, (Newport Pagnell 2011, 13, 15 AFC Dunstable 2016 & AFC Rushden & Diamonds 2017) have yielded three victories, a draw and only a single defeat.
