Derk Flint fired home a double as Oxford City Stars showed their class with a 6-1 victory over Oxford University in a stormy Town v Gown encounter.

Stars took a first-minute early lead through Gary Slevin, but the rest of the period was scoreless as the Blues battled hard and netminder David Watt, their player of the match, made a number of fine saves.

The University side also created a few chances, but they were unable to convert them.

Early in the second period, however, the Dark Blues levelled thanks to a powerplay goal from Patrik Chrisman.

Just 60 seconds later, Flint restored City's lead with his second.

City's Matt Roberts and the University's Sam Salisbury were ejected for fighting shortly after this, before Stars extended their lead with a short-handed goal after Flint was put clear by Nick Eden to complete his brace.

Slevin was then ejected for foul play, before Darren Elliott smashed in a pass from Flint at the far post.

In the third period, Paul Crockett was ejected for taking the law into his own hands, before Ben Lay scored Stars' fifth goal.

Frustrations continued to boil over as Stars' Alan Green was penalised for fighting with the University's Mark Purdon.

Stars scored another short-handed goal after this incident, with Andy Cox managing to push home the rebound after Watt had initially denied him.

Stars' Lay then received a ten-minute misconduct charge for remonstrating with the referee shortly after he had been checked from behind by the University's Chris Pettengell.

On five minutes, Zodiacs were ahead, Suzie Clarke putting the finishing touch to some good work from Boardman.

Halfway through the second period, Amy Hadden extended Zodiacs' lead, before Judith Waller and Felicity Bulmer levelled for the University.

The game looked like ending all square, until Boardman put away a pass from Hadden.
