Oxford United have confirmed that impressive youngster Tyler Goodrham will spend a further month with United as his loan has been extended. Tyler has shown very well in his five games thus far here at Hayes & Yeading and Oxford United's Academy Manager Dan Harris is quoted on OUFC.co.uk as saying of the positive reports on his progress "That has led to teams higher up the pyramid asking about his availability, which is nice, but the loan has worked well so far and we are happy to extend it and we thank Hayes & Yeading for the way they are looking after him and helping his progress."
Today's draw for the Fourth Round Qualifying of this season's Emirates FA Cup has seen United given an away tie where we will visit Dorking Wanderers from the National League South.

Secondly our Southern League Cup tie against Metropolitan Police will now take place at the SKYex on Tuesday 19th October, kick off 19:45. This means that our scheduled Southern Premier South visit to Gosport Borough the following night will need to be rearranged.
With United progressing to the final qualifying round of this seasons Emirates FA Cup, our home fixture against Truro City on October 16th will have to be rescheduled. Also to be rearranged will be our visit from Metropolitan Police in the Southern League Cup, this was scheduled for this coming Tuesday but with the Met having an FA Cup replay at St Albans City on the same night the FA Cup takes precedence. New dates for both of the above and the visit of Merthyr Town, postponed from today due to our FA Cup tie will be advised as soon as agreed.
