The funeral service for Oxford United groundsman David Wedge will take place at Oxford Crematorium on Friday at 12.45pm.

The 45-year-old had been the club's main groundsman for four years.

He took over after the previous head groundsman, Mick Moore, left to take up a position at St John's College, Oxford.

Wedge was Moore's assistant for 17 years - 15 of them at the Manor Ground and the first 18 months at the Kassam Stadium - before taking over from him.

The club'shop, ticket office and club office will be closed from noon on Friday to allow staff to attend the funeral.
