Last week saw the Oxfordshire FA hold its annual Awards Evening. As well as presentations, the evening included a speech from The FA Head of National Game, Kelly Simmons MBE, and also had a Prize Draw in which 6 lucky youngsters won the opportunity to be on the Wembley pitch before England’s World Cup Qualifier fixture against Belarus.
