UNION Street climbed to third in the Oxford City FA table after seeing off the challenge of Masons Arms with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Sandy Lane.

The hosts took a belated first-half lead through a fine free-kick from Matthew Brandish.

An acrobatic header from captain Craig Bartlett sealed the points for Street, with Ben Beaumont excelling at the heart of their defence.

The George stay second after winning 2-1 at basement boys Summertown.

Goals from Will Davenport and Alex Underwood gave them the points.
