View Larger Map

Please be aware our training is Shippon sports ground  - This is near Tilsley Park Abingdon

It is at Cherry Tree Drive, Shippon, If anybody does not know where this is they can call

From Carterton I would suggest heading to Abingdon via Marcham on the A415.
After negotiating the town of Marcham you will get on the straight road heading for Abingdon.

Towards the A34 junction, before on the left their is a turning I think it is the new Faringdon Road heading towards Gozzards Ford and Cothill. Then turn first right into Barrow Road towards Shippon. At the bottom of this road turn left and take 2nd right into Cherry Tree Drive. You will see the large sports field  on the left, go to top of Road and park on site.

New Season - New Rules

11 A side, 30 Minutes each way with linesman, with off side;

OFF SIDE RULE - Stolen from the Blues Site - Thanks Mark

Just in case any of you don't know the off-side rule!

Being in an offiside position

It is not an offence in itself to be in an offside position.

A player is in an offside position if:
•he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent

A player is not in an offside position if:
•he is in his own half of the field of play
•he is level with the second last opponent
•he is level with the last two opponents

Commiting an Offside Offence

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

•interfering with play
•interfering with an opponent
•gaining an advantage by being in that position

There is no offside offence if a player receives the ball directly from:
•a goal kick
•a throw-in
•a corner kick
