JACK Self’s quickfire double gave Didcot Town the derby spoils in a 2-0 win over Wantage Town.

The Railwaymen also confirmed after the game Andy Ballard would stay on as manager after a string of good results in 2016.

Self struck the only goals of the Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West encounter in the first five minutes.

Lewis Noble’s effort fell to the midfielder who opened the scoring on four minutes.

Within 60 seconds it was 2-0 as Mark Janes played in Self who fired home from a tight angle.

Wantage came into the game and Mark Francis was denied by Leigh Bedwell.

Marvin Martin’s effort went just over for the hosts late on.

Didcot look to stretch their unbeaten run to six at Burnham today, while Wantage host Banbury United in another local derby.

Didcot Tn: Bedwell, Collins, Organ, Ballard (Longford 64), Carnell, Learoyd, Noble (Morgan 68), Self, Janes, Martin, Edney (Tanner 64). Subs not used: Lovegrove, Beer.

North Leigh lost 2-0 at Bishops Cleeve.

The defeat leaves them 17 points adrift of the play-offs in tenth.

In wet and windy conditions, Jon Steedman and George Seacole went close for the Millers during a goalless first half.

Visiting keeper Ben Taylor clawed a wind-assisted high ball off the line after the break, before Elliot Kennedy hit the bar.

Due to a hail storm, the match was stopped for seven minutes.

But after play resumed, Kirk Layton fired into the top corner to open the scoring on 81 minutes.

And with two minutes to go, Shane Bumphrey headed home.

The Millers take on Marlow at home this afternoon.
