OXFORD Hawks ended their South League Premier campaign on a high note with a convincing 4-1 win away to fourth-placed Old Cranleighans.

The visitors made a bright start as Matt Wood fired them ahead with a fierce shot and he added another before half-time.

Wood was denied a hat-trick, when his shot was blocked by the grounded home keeper, but the rebound was netted by Will Phillips to make it 3-0.

Ben Roe stretched the lead to 4-0 before the home side replied five minutes from time.
