Though the two clubs now enjoy an intense local rivalry, competitive clashes between Swindon and Oxford only started in 1965, three years after the U's were elected to the Football League to replace the bankrupt Accrington Stanley. Many of the opening encounters between the sides were cagey affairs, with just nine goals being scored in the first ten matches, six of which being scored by the Town in two 3-0 victories. Of those ten games, six ended as goalless draws, and Oxford failed to score in all but two of the games - their first goal against the Town coming in the sixth match between the sides. When Oxford finally registered a victory against Swindon at the eighth time of asking, it was an ignominous exit from the League Cup for the Town - the 1-0 defeat at the Manor Ground ending their defence of the trophy, having won it the previous season. Since then, Swindon have maintained an impressive record over their local rivals.
Few players have been transferred between the two clubs over the years - though one of the most controversial happened in 1995, when Joey Beauchamp returned to the Manor Ground from Swindon for £75,000 - a loss of more than £700,000 on the price they paid just fourteen months previously. In June 1993, Beauchamp joined West Ham from Oxford for £1m, but after just 58 days at Upton Park, he decided that the commute to East London from his Oxford home was untenable, and Swindon boss John Gorman took his chance to bring him to the County Ground after being thwarted by the Hammers in his previous attempt to sign him. Beauchamp eventually joined for a deal worth £800,000, with Town defender Adrian Whitbread included in the deal - but he failed to impress at Swindon, and made just sixty appearances before being sold back to Oxford in a cut-price deal by Steve McMahon, who very obviously didn't appreciate his style of play. Beauchamp was to score past the Town in the next meeting between the sides - a 3-0 win for Oxford over the Town - and the season ended with Swindon champions of the Second Division and the U's in second place.
