Oxford United Women announce Peterborough United friendly

The U’s finished fourth in the National League South in the 2025/26 season behind champions Watford, Plymouth Argyle and AFC Bournemouth.

Liam Gilbert oversaw an upturn in form with Oxford since being reappointed as head coach in November.

Peterborough won promotion from the National League Division One Midlands – the fourth tier – last season, winning the league with an eight-point margin.

The Posh will travel to the MGroup Stadium, the home of Oxford City, for the pre-season clash.

The fixture will take place on Wednesday, June 15 with kick-off scheduled for 7:30PM.

The U’s announced that four players had left the club at the end of last season in Holly Turner, Lucy Trinder, Maddison Millington-Stanbury and Maya Kendell.

Having retained a strong core of players, the Gilbert’s side added a star signing earlier this month with the addition of Sophie Quirk from rivals Bournemouth.

The 24-year-old scored a staggering 29 goals in 33 games for the Cherries last term and will add a new attacking threat to United who are keen to seriously compete for promotion next season.

Quirk said upon her arrival: “There is so much ambition in the Club and everyone has been so welcoming to me which makes me look forward.”
