Match Reports

The visitors started brightly with Adam Holloway and Oki Olawuyi putting the home defence under pressure. It was against the run of the game when in the 11th minute, the ball dropped on the edge of the Witney penalty area and the Kennington player fired home into the top corner of the goal with goalkeeper Tom Bennington given no chance.

Witney made the short trip to Yarnton for their first venture in the Oxford Senior Cup since the re-birth of the team. A bright sunny day with a strong swirling wind which made the playing conditions tricky.

Witney made the trip to Banbury for the 1st round cup tie. Hardwick play in Division One of the Senior League. A potential banana skin of a game saw the pre match preparation upset by an issue with the visitors’ kit, or more exactly the lack of it!

On a bright sunny Saturday afternoon in September the Blanketmen travelled to the league leaders in a keenly anticipated fixture. It took just over a minute for the first goal scoring chance of the game as the Abingdon forward latched onto a through ball.

Witney made the long trip to Chinnor in search of a second win on the back of their win over Milton the previous weekend. Conditions were dry but blustery in the mid-September sunshine.

Witney entered their first home league game of the season, under the Friday night lights, with interim Manager Chris Allen returning to his former managerial home at North Leigh. Witney struggled to settle in the early minutes as the visitors went close from a free kick.
