Abingdon Tn 8 (Edney 33, 50, 72, 87, 90, Williams 47, Simms 60, Ellwood 70)

Malmesbury Vics 0

Abingdon Town’s leading scorer Graham Edney cracked home a five-timer on Saturday – but looks likely to miss out on the Premier Division’s golden boot award.

Edney took his seasonal tally to 33 in a one-sided contest against Malmesbury, whose place in the relegation zone was confirmed by this result.

With support from his teammates, Edney was in devastating form, but when the statisitcs are confirmed later this month, it is expected that Ardley United’s Troy Bryan will finish as the division’s top marksman.

Malmesbury competed well for the first half and trailed only 1-0 at the break through Edney’s 33rd minute strike.

But it was one-way traffic in the second half as Abingdon added seven more.

Edney completed his hat-trick in the 72nd minute, but by that stage Lance Williams, Mark Simms and Ben Elwood had already found the net against their hapless opponents.

Edney added two more as mid-table Abingdon ended the season on a high note.

Ardley Utd 1 (Bridges 89)

Flackwell Heath 4 (Woodward pen 26, Thompson 53, Coull 70, Sturgess 78)

Inconsistent Ardley, who, who hammered Marlow United 10-0 on Thursday night, slumped to a heavy home defeat on Saturday.

With one eye on today’s Bluefin Insurance Brokers Cup final against Slimbridge at Wantage Town, Kevin Brock’s side trailed to Mitch Woodward’s 26th-minute pen-alty at half-time.

Further goals from Callum Coull, Lee Thompson and Ben Sturgess put Marlow 4-0 ahead before Stuart Bridges replied for Ardley in the dying minutes.

Witney Utd 1 (Wickens pen 27)

Reading Tn 1 (Lewis 54)

Witney United extended their unbeaten run to six matches as they brought the curtain down on the season with an entertaining draw against Reading Town at The Polythene UK Stadium.

The hosts took the lead midway through the first half.

A long throw by Chris Harper was helped on by the head of Jon-Paul Mills, but Reading’s Michael Buck blocked the ball with his hands to stop it reaching the danger zone Gary Wickens smashed the resultant penalty powerfully into the net.

Witney began to look dangerous and a deep cross by Harper caught out the visitors defence, but Wickens could only watch in agony as his header dropped over the bar.

Paul Tassell came to Witney’s rescue just after the break when a long ball caught out Dean Smith, and James Clarke raced clear, but the keeper’s feet denied the winger.

Six minutes later, Reading were back on level terms when a through ball released Graham Lewis, who looked offside when he raced away before rounding Tassell and netting with ease.

Witney’s Andrew Younie caused panic in the Reading defence before he found Anacleti Odihambo whose goalbound effort was blocked.

Back came Reading as both sides went in search of a winner and Scott Rees did brilliantly to make himself a yard of space before curling a shot which clipped the outside of a post.

Witney had the last effort on goal when Harper struck a free-kick which deflected off the bottom of a defensive wall, and the wrong-footed keeper, Chris Grace, had to scramble across his line to save.
