Oxford Hawks overcame a nasty injury in the warm-up to win 1-0 at home to Isca and make it back-to-back- victories in the Ladies Investec Conference West.

Just before the start, Becky Hibbert was hit on the head by the ball and was rushed to hospital.

The good news is that, although Hibbert was dazed, she received few stitches and expects to be playing this week.

Having one less player in the squad did not affect Hawks’ attacking approach.

After a competitive goalless first half, Hawks were grateful to Caro Harris for an important goalline clearance, before Jo Tolson scored the winning goal from Becky Odlin’s cross.

Oxford slipped up 3-2 at home to Brighton & Hove in their opening South Clubs League Division 2 fixture.

Catherine Reaney put Oxford ahead midway through the first half but defensive lapses led to Brighton taking a 3-1 lead after the break.

Despite a well-worked goal from Oxford’s Kim Haynes five minutes from time, Brighton hung on to claim the points.

Witney kicked off their Division 3A campaign with a thumping 6-1 win over Wycombe.

Hayley Dobson and Amy Williams gave Witney an early 2-0 lead.

Wycombe hit back with a short corner goal, but missed a penalty flick before Marie Vincent’s deflected shot put Witney 3-1 up at half-time.

Witney’s superior fitness told in the second half when they added further goals through Sunny Ricketts, Vincent and Katie Oliver.
