KINGSMERE United, one of Oxfordshire’s newest clubs, are being sponsored by Whitelands Farm Sports Ground, owners of their home pitch.

The club, founded in 2016, were presented with their kit by Stuart Midson, who as one of the managers of Whitelands Farm, was responsible for bringing the team to their new 3G home ground, near Bicester, last October.

Soon after their formation by 19-year-olds Connor Merriman and Callum Draper, Kingsmere were elected to the Banbury and District Lord Jersey FA.

The first season saw the club narrowly avoid relegation.

However, things took off in 2017-18, when they won the Division 2 title and the Mid-Oxon Cup.

Now Kingsmere now look forward to a campaign in Division 1.
