Oxford City 1, Leverstock Green 0

OXFORD City picked up their first trophy of the season when they beat Leverstock Green 1-0 to win the Combined Counties League Premier Division Cup final at Hillingdon Borough on Tuesday night.

It gives them a great chance of the league and cup double as they are eight points clear at the top.

The only goal came after ten minutes, following a fine attack from City.

Ray Spence headed on to Danny Keen, who in turn set up Harry Burnley to score from close range.

City were having most of the play but goal chances were hard to come by.

The few goalscoring opportunities that opponents Leverstock Green created were mainly off target, as City defended solidly.

In the second half, Milan Barisic, the City keeper, pulled off an excellent save to deny Leverstock an equal iser.

With five minutes to go, City might have added to the score when Spence set up Justin Miller, but the second-half substitute put his effort over the bar from close in.

Oxford City: Barisic, Durrant, Steedman, Merritt, Marriott, Brandon, Douglas, Jones (Pilling 85), Keen (Miller 73), Spence, Burnley (Gardner 80). Subs not used: Craker, Wilkins.

Oxford City maintained their challenge for the Premier Division title with a 3-1 win over Biggleswade United at Court Place Farm on Saturday.

Harry Burnley might have added to the score, but fired over from Ray Spence's pass.

After 56 minutes, City doubled their lead when Harry Burnley sent over the perfect cross to Ray Spence, who controlled the ball and dispatched it just inside an upright.

Mathew McCartney had a couple of chances for Biggleswade, but they were dealt with by City keeper Carl Wilkins.

After 63 minutes, Spence collected a long ball and sped past hesitant keeper Darren Ayre before slotting in.

The visitors reduced the arrears with four minutes to go when Keith Thomas got on the end of a free-kick and lofted the ball into the top corner beyond Wilkins.
