OXFORD Hawks were outgunned 4-1 at home to Chichester Priory Park in the South League Premier Division 1.

Their only crumb of comfort came via a Sam Chilvers goal as Chichester consolidated their third place in the table.

Oxford finished the first half of their MBBO Regional Division 1 season with a 2-2 draw away to PHC Chiswick. In a cagey encounter, there were few clear-cut chances at either end.

Oxford took the lead from their first short corner, Matt McKeown firing home, but Chiswick were soon level.

After the break, Oxford soon found themselves in arrears but battled back to take a point when Dan Bleach snatched the equaliser.

Wallingford put in a disciplined and patient performance to take all three MBB&O Regional Division 1 points in a 3-0 win at home to Sonning. The home side looked comfortable throughout, enjoying much of the possession and the breakthrough came via Row-an Wheeler’s first goal of the season. Further goals from Ed Allen and Tom Charleston wrapped up the victory.

Witney signed off in style by winning 3-0 at fellow promotion prospects Newbury & Thatcham in Regional Division 2.

Goals from Justin Peel, Gareth Pritchard and Ben Wells ensure Witney go into the Christmas break second in the table.

Bicester kept themselves in the hunt for promotion from MBB&O Division 1 with a thrilling 5-4 win away to Wycombe 3rd.

Adam Drewitt gave the Foxes an early lead but defensive lapses allowed Wycombe go in 3-1 up at half-time. Jonny Reid’s reverse stick shot made it 3-2, but Wycombe looked well set when they bagged their fourth goal.

Bicester refused to panic and Andy Brown controlled the midfield well, alongside Harry Gaunt. Reid reduced the arrears and then completed his hat-trick, before CJ Birtles finished superbly to clinch the points and send Bicester happily into the Christmas break.
