Oxford United Win Again
Oxford United won again this evening to keep an 8 point lead at the top of the Blue Square Premier. Kettering had been on course to suffer a defeat in their away fixture against Hayes & Yeading, two late goals provided a win for the Northamptonshire side however, and Oxford’s lead at the top was therefore not extended.
Stevenage has a game in hand over Oxford which could potentially push the lead back to 6 points, Oxford United is the team to beat in the Blue Square Premier right now though, the team at the top that all else will be aiming for.
Oxford United finished in 7th last season, narrowly missing out on the play-offs having enjoyed an incredibly impressive second-half of the season. Oxford will now be looking to return to the Football League, having been relegated along with Rushden & Diamonds at the end of the 2005/06 season.

Wrexham 0-0 Chester
Wrexham draw 0-0 with Chester today to provide the only no-score draw of the weekend in the Blue Square Premier. Chester City remain miserably adrift at the foot of the table on -14 points, Wrexham meanwhile move up to 15th, with two games in hand of most of the other side’s above them in the league.
This was the fifth draw in a row for Chester City, and whilst the side isn’t losing games at current; drawing fixtures just isn’t enough, and the team has a lot of work to do if Chester City is to survive in the Blue Square Premier this season. Dean Saunders’ men meanwhile will now be looking to drive onwards and upwards, with a view to reaching the play-offs come the end of the 2009/10 season.

Jamie Cook Returning to Oxford United?
Crawley Town striker Jamie Cook is rumoured to be returning to Oxford United in order to provide the team with a fourth striker. James Constable, Jack Midson, and Matt Green are all already on the Oxford United books; Cook would give Oxford further options upfront however, and manager Chris Wilder perhaps feels that he’s in need of more firepower upfront.
Cook actually started out his career with Oxford United, and the Oxford born striker could be just what Chris Wilder requires in order to help his team win promotion.
Cook has scored 29 goals in 72 league appearances since signing for Crawley in 2007, and if he does indeed make the move to Oxford then Chris Wilder will have himself four top quality strikers with a proven ability to score goals at this level.

Frank Sinclair Signs For Wrexham
Former Chelsea defender Frank Sinclair has signed for Blue Square Premier side Wrexham on a one-year contract. The 37 year-old defender was on the Lincoln City books last season, and also spent time on loan at Wycombe Wanderers in the team that won promotion from League Two.
Sinclair spent the first decade of his career with Chelsea before moving on to play for Leicester City, and also made over 100 appearances for Premier League new boys Burnley between 2004 and 2007.
Frank Sinclair is a former Jamaican international, and will bring a massive amount of experience to the Wrexham backline which could prove to be incredibly useful to Dean Saunders in helping the team win promotion back up to the Football League.
