The new season is scheduled to commence on September 12th. We will play in D2 where we will be joined by 8 new teams including FC Shepperton and Windlesham Reserves who we faced in last years cup competitions. In the build up to the season there are some key dates for your diaries. These are; AUGUST 1st - Official Pre-Season training will commence at Oatlands Park. AUGUST 22 - Inter-Oatlands 5-a-side @ Heathrow goals then BBQ at the pub. AUGUST 29th / SEPTEMBER 5th - Potential dates for pre-season friendlies

Early indications are that most of last season's squad will be retained, although we will be lending a couple of players to various Universities for the next couple of years. We are aware that there will be a few new faces next year, but if you do know of anyone who wants to play football please spread the word. Alternatively, if you are someone who is interested in finding out more please email the club at info@oatlandsfc.com or join our facebook group "the mighty OFC" for regular updates - you might just know someone who plays for us..

Oatlands are extremely pleased to say that next year we will have 2 new shirt sponsors. Barney has kindly provided the funding for a new home kit. This will be the traditional OFC white with blue and red and will carry either the Flingate or Spitting Pig logo. In a break from tradition our new away kit will be red with blue shorts and has been funded by Jack Hilliers company. Anyone wishing to donate to the club, provide sponsorship or get their logo up on our site for a small charge should contact Steve at info@oatlandsfc.com

GWAFL AGM - Not much to report. M+W won the D2 Sportsmanship award. AFC Hersham are now Weybridge Town FC. Probably worth noting is that the league supplied referees to 92% of games across all divisions, meaning that Terry Hawkett and Geoff Comley on the league committee are doing a damn good job. We had our own AGM on Saturday - details to come via email soon. Apart from the issue of training, the main point that was raised was that our form on the pitch seems to be dictated by whether or not Baynezy is playing. Club captain James Beckram has also achieved his level one coaching badge.
