TEN-MAN Ducklington picked up their first Witney & District FA Premier Division points of the season with a 3-2 win over Hanborough, writes Anthony Barlow.

Injuries forced Ducklington to play the entire match a man short, but an inspired hat-trick from Tom Gregory led them to victory, despite a Joey Burgess brace for the visitors.

Ethan Penny scored twice, but could not prevent Combe from going down 3-2 at home to league leaders West Witney, who won it through Ian Sparkes’ double and a third from Mike Duerden.

Carterton Town A struck four times through Jack Morton (2), Jason Trinder and Tommy Burns in a thrilling final 20 minutes to win 4-2 at Minster Lovell, having trailed 2-0 to a Seb White brace.

Dan Crossman, Mo Semlali and Mark Wright all scored in Hailey’s 3-1 win over Chipping Norton Town, Dan Bott pulling one back for the hosts.
