Division 1

Chipping Norton 2, Ardley United 1

Chipping Norton emerged from the fog with all three points from Saturday's top-of-the-table clash in Division 1 West.

A well-contested first half saw the home side grab the lead when Mark Dennis on the half hour when a long ball saw him outpaced the Ardley defence.

The visitors' best spell came straight after half-time when for 20 minutes they created a host of chances but were denied by keeper Jeremy Winter.

Gary Wright wrong-footed the Ardley defence and cut inside to shoot home Chippy's second, before a penalty from Gary Clifford in the dying minutes gave Ardley some consolation.

Cheltenham Saras 1, Clanfield 0

Clanfield felt hard done by after failing to secure at least a point at Cheltenham.

Both sides went close before Richard Gunn put the home side in front in the 30th minute, Clanfield's Shaun Miller just failing to clear off the line.

Clanfield pressed forward in search of an equaliser and twice rattled the woodwork. Mark Bowles hit a post with a glancing header, and in injury time a Jason Court thunderbolt struck the underside of the bar.

Harrow Hill 2, Middle Barton 0

Middle Barton, fielding a depleted side including three debutants, battled hard on a very sticky pitch, but were undone by two goals from Reid in the 40th and 55th minutes.

Milton Utd 2, Penn & Tylers 1

Milton recorded a second straight Division 1 East victory despite going behind to a Robertson goal on 40 minutes.

The second half saw Milton offer a bigger threat, with captain Pete Culley heading the equaliser.

The visitors hit a post before a bizarre goal settled the match for Milton in the 89th minute.

A volleyed clearance from a visiting defender struck veteran Mark Orlando on the back and dribbled over the line as the keeper watched in disbelief.

Holyport 0, Letcombe 4

Letcombe posted their third consecutive win and clean sheet as they overwhelmed Holyport in the second half.

They should have had the game sewn up by half-time, but they wasted four one-on-ones with the home keeper.

Young Robbie Fairchild caught the home keeper off his line from 30 yards to open the scoring, and Iain Whatley added a second soon afterwards.

David Rees bagged a brace to complete the scoring.

Matt Goddard and Mark de la Coze were outstanding in Letcombe's defence.
