HANBOROUGH lifted the John Fathers Oxfordshire Junior Shield for the first time after they trounced fellow Witney FA & District side FC Hollybush 5-0 in the final at Kidlington, writes Anthony Barlow.
The victory, which followed their Premier Division title success, was particularly poignant as John Fathers was a stalwart of Hanborough.
They went in front three minutes before the break through skipper Dan Haggie’s long free-kick.
