Sam Chilvers scored twice as Oxford Hawks opened their South League Premier 1 campaign with an exciting 4-3 win at Milton Keynes.

Hawks twice came from behind to make it 2-2 at half-time thanks to goals from Simon Robinson and Chilvers.

They came out strongly in the second half and went 3-2 up when Dom Roche scored from a corner.

This time Milton Keynes levelled, and it needed Chilvers’ second strike three minutes from time to secure the points.

An Andy Wynd hat-trick and a Dan Bleach deflection sealed a 4-0 win for Oxford over Oxford 2nd in Regional Division 1.

Keeper Callum Chapman came to the rescue with a series of fine saves for the first team.

Despite losing Fraser Barnard with a yellow card, Witney battled hard to secure a 1-1 draw away to Tring in Middlesex Berks Bucks & Oxon Division 1.

The hosts took a first-half lead, but Witney equalised after Thomas Dobson and Andy Gosnell set up Rory Heaslip to score.

Dave Sutcliffe scored a hat-trick as Bicester won 4-2 away to Oxford 3rd.

A brace from Sutcliffe and a slick goal from Jonny Reid put Bicester 3-0 ahead in the first 15 minutes.

Oxford replied through Dan Geer and Oli Marshall.

But Sutcliffe put the game to bed when swivelling in the D and smashing the ball home.
