This weekend, Gwalia United will be aiming to continue their steady run of form as they take on Oxford United, one of the league’s high flyers. With two wins, a draw, and just one loss in their last four matches, Gwalia have been showing improvement, and face a stern challenge against a strong Oxford side. Gwalia’s recent performances have been encouraging, with Manon Pearce having scored an impressive brace of goals against Cheltenham and Tia Asker finding a rich seam of form over the past few weeks. An ability to grind out results has kept Gwalia competitive, due in no small part to a new look back line including Chloe Lloyd and Cerys Jones combining well with Ellie-Mai Sanford and the ever-consistent Libby Piggott. Manager James Thomas will be looking to build on this momentum against a well-organised Oxford team.
Oxford United, meanwhile, have been one of the standout teams this season. Their consistency has seen them maintain and consolidate a position near the top of the table, and they will be keen to extend their strong run. With a potent attack and a solid defensive unit, Oxford pose a significant threat to any opposition. It promises to be an exciting encounter.
