Match Reports - Week 33

Hailey have had a busy end to their 2014-15 season, having only recently stopped fighting on three fronts. Not least of all in the Fred Ford Cup, where they beat Spartan Rangers 2-0 in the final. Luke Manning and Jack Wood scored the goals that secured Hailey’s first Fred Ford title since 2007.

They also made it through to the final of the Senior Cup after a 3-2 win over Minster Lovell. Nathan Harris and Steve Burke found the back of the net for Minster Lovell, but a brace from Jack Wood and a last minute winner from super sub Dan King settled the tie in Hailey’s favour.

Premier Division
Hailey’s also finished the league on a high. With Third place guaranteed weeks ago, they handed out a 7-3 spanking to Ducklington for whom Ashley Edwards, Jack Morton and Jordan Cross scored. However a hat trick from Jack Wood and further goals from Paul Read (2), Mo Semlali and Jack Bennett confirmed the walkover for Hailey.

Division Two
With a place in Division One at stake, the battle for the second between Kirtlington and Carterton Rangers was a little more one sided that expected with the hosts running out 4-1 winners. Rangers showed why they had pushed Kirtlington to the last game of the season and scored through Billy Hales, however Kirtlington were too strong and vital goals from Ryan Moran-Ross, Jake East, Nathan Kelly and Frank Harrison were what the hosts needed to secure their Division One berth next season.

Division Four
In their first season, Tower Hill Reserves are one of only two teams to have finished the season unbeaten. This was confirmed after a 0-0 draw with Charlbury Town Reserves.

Wychwood Forest produced a find end to their season after a 4-1 win over Eynsham A. Zac Sheffield scored for Eynsham but a brace a piece from Callum Kirke and Noel Phillips secured the win and third place for Wychwood.

Milton Reserves went down 3-1 to Bampton United. Tom Madden, Conor O’Shea and Jake Prichard scored for the visitors with Louis Breaks getting the consolation for Milton.
