Match Report: Wycombe Wanderers 0-0 Oxford City

Jul 12, 2022

Oxford City played out a goalless draw against League One side Wycombe Wanderers in the Hoops' second pre-season friendly of the summer.

Behind closed doors at the Chairboys' training ground, Ross Jenkins opted to make ten changes to the starting eleven on the hour mark, progressing from the 45 minutes each player had in the first friendly against Oxford United.

Despite the gap between the two sides in the football pyramid, the Hoops held their own throughout the game.

Wycombe (playing with a mix of youth & first-team players for the first hour) forced Ben Dudzinski into a save early on, but apart from that, were restricted to long-range efforts before the changes.


Jenkins’ side we’re playing some good football throughout the first-half with the team linking up well. However, Joe Iaciofano was denied twice by the Chairboys’ trialist Goalkeeper towards the end of the half, leaving it level at the break.

On the hour mark both sides made wholesale changes to their teams, with Dudzinski the only City player to keep his spot on the pitch.

A strong Wycombe team emerged after the hour and Welsh International Sam Vokes almost headed the hosts ahead. However, his looped header dropped inches wide.


Wycombe began to test the City backline but the defence stayed strong to hold off a number of attacks and clear the danger from a number of crosses.

All in all, the ninety minutes proved to be a great workout for City and an impressive performance against tough opposition is a pleasing sight this early into the pre-season schedule.


Jenkins' side will travel to Stratford Town next as the team step-up their preparations ahead of the upcoming season.


We’d like to say a big thank you to Wycombe Wanderers and wish them well for their upcoming Sky Bet League One campaign.
