Oxford City climbed up four places in the BGB Business Southern League Premier Division table by winning 1-0 at second-placed Corby last night.
It means City have taken four points out of six against the top two, having held leaders Farnborough to a 2-2 draw on Saturday.
The only goal came after 25 minutes. Darren Pond's through ball found James Faulkner, who left the square Corby defence appealing for offside as he raced through to score.
Corby's Tony Battersby shot straight at keeper Ryan Harrison before the break and the home side had the ball in the net early in the second half, only to be denied by an offside flag.
City came under some heavy Corby pressure, but soaked it up well.
They could have made it 2-0 late on when Jamie Brooks shot wide when clean through.
Oxford City: Harrison, Saulsbury, Davis, Gunn, Pond (Malone 56), Jackman, Brooks, Savage, Faulkner (Redknap 73), Faulconbridge, Bell (Lyon 65). Subs not used: Rendell, Gardner.
Att: 314.
