Oxford City Nomads F.C. are a football club based in Oxford, England. In 2007, they changed their name from Oxford Quarry Nomads to their present name. Currently they are members of the Hellenic League Premier Division.
History
Oxford City Nomads F.C. were originally called Quarry Nomads F.C. The club started in 1936 as a youth team with pupils from the local Quarry School. The team became a men's team after the Second World War when they became part of the Oxford City Football Association. The club played in the Oxford leagues until the 1984–85 season, where having struggled for almost a decade the club stopped playing football for two years. They reformed in the 1987–88 season under the guidance of Keith Dolton, a former player who had been a member of the 1966 Oxfordshire Senior Cup winning side; that season the club entered the Oxford City F.A. Junior League. After winning the Oxfordshire Senior League Premier Division Championship in the 1993–94 season, the club was promoted to the Chiltonian League. After the 2000–01 season the club joined the Hellenic league.[1] The club in 2005 changed its name to the Oxford Quarry Nomads,[2] but one year later they changed their name again for the 2006–07 season to the Oxford City Nomads.[3]
Ground
Oxford City Nomads play their home games at Oxford City Stadium, Marsh Lane, Marston, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX3 0NQ.
Oxford City Nomads share the ground with Oxford City; they used to play at Margaret Road except in the 1990–91 season, where they moved to Risinghurst Cricket Club, but moved back a year later to Margaret Road due to a boggy pitch.
