AMY Litchfield scored twice as Oxford started their South League Division 2 campaign with a 3-2 victory over Henley.

Ruth Bedford fired the hosts into an early lead, slotting home from a penalty corner within the opening few minutes.

Oxford goalkeeper Louise Kay then produced a string of fine saves to keep her side ahead at the break.

However, Henley levelled in the second half, only for Litchfield to restore the lead with a fine individual effort.

The visitors hit back to make it 2-2, but Litchfield had the last laugh to seal victory.
