Rachel Lammey hit a hat-trick as City of Oxford hammered Oxford Hawks 2nd 5-0 in Division 3A – but the scoreline didn’t tell the whole story.

West Witney drew 2-2 with West Hampstead, courtesy of a fine individual goal from Sadie Lapper and a second in the second half by Katie Gatt.

The winner came in the second half from a well-worked short corner, Caro Harris making no mistake.
Mel Banton’s penalty flick helped bring City of Oxford 2nd a 1-1 draw at Windsor in Premier 2.
