Despite recovering from a 2-0 deficit, Oxford Ladies could only draw 2-2 away to bottom club Marlow in South Clubs League Division 2.

Two goals from penalty corners put Marlow in charge.

But Oxford hit back as Catherine Reaney and Kim Haynes – from the penalty spot – made it 2-2 at the break.

Excellent goalkeeping from Oxford’s Emma Henriksen and her Marlow counterpart prevented any more goals.

Bicester came from behind to draw 1-1 at home to Oxford University 2nd in the Trysports Three Counties League.

The hosts’ equaliser came in the second half from Alison Haik.
