You can now watch the highlights of the International Challenge Trophy Final which was held at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Belgium defeated the England C team 1-0 courtesy of a 64th-minute strike from Brecht Capon, but England Head Coach, Paul Fairclough, remained upbeat about the non-League game in England.

"Football is alive and kicking at the non-League level," he said after the match.

"We've got a wealth of talent coming through, but we have got to make [progress]. We're not far away. We'll have to get to grips with the technical side of the game as much as our opponents, but the future looks good."
