OXFORD Yellows stormed out of the blocks in the League Cup final – and secured a 2-0 victory over Barton United to lift the trophy, writes GEOFF BOWER.

It took them just five minutes to break the deadlock, Sean Flaherty latching onto a loose ball to scramble home the opener.

A great move involving Johnny McMahon and Kyle McCoy ended with captain Rocky Whiting just beating the advancing keeper to fire home to make it 2-0 midway through the half.

Barton rallied and put Yellows under intense pressure after the break, but as chances came and went at both ends, man-of-the-match Ryan Davies kept them at bay in the Yellows goal with a string of fine saves.

The icing on the cake came when Barton were awarded a dubious late penalty, but Davies saved well from Ryan Curtin.
