Oxford Hawks Ladies put on one of their best performances at Reading 1A in South Clubs’ League Division 1, but lost 2-1.

Kathryn Poulter fired them ahead on five minutes, calmly taking the ball around defenders before netting, and Hawks were unlucky to concede just before half-time.

Resolute in the second half, with Hetti Murray outstanding, they hit the post twice before Reading won it with a deflection off a short corner.

Rover Oxford went down 4-1 at Epsom.

City of Oxford consolidated second in Division 3A with a 6-3 win over Southgate 2nd.

It was 3-3 at half-time but City then pulled away. Anna Nicholson (2), Anne-Marie Davenport (2), Rachel Lammey and Mel Banton scored.

Banbury are out of the promotion race after losing 4-2 at Sonning. Victoria Page and Claire Armstrong scored.

West Witney beat Hampstead & Westminster 2nd 3-2 in a hard-fought game.

Joy Mangazi slotted home after a run by Hannah Jarvis, and although Hampstead euqalised, Anna Kirk and Sadie Lapper, from a short corner strike, put Witney clear.

Abi Flory and Marie Warwick struck to bring Hawks 2nd a 2-0 win over Bracknell.
