If it's goals you are looking for then I suggest you look no further than the Oxfordshire Senior League Division One this season. The opening day of the season on Saturday saw no fewer than 40 goals across the six games played. Interestingly, the two top scorers, Ashton Folly who racked up 8 against Eynsham with six different goal scorers, and Bicester Hallions who scored 7 at Horspath including a Ryan Brooks hat-trick, are both new to the division. That's certainly one way of announcing yourselves.
Both sides came from the Banbury District 7 Lord Jersey League, Hallions in a straight switch and Folly as champions of Division 1. Next Saturday, the 12th, sees Hallions make the short journey to Hethe to take on Folly in what could be a real test for both defences.
Not too far behind the top too were Kirtlington who smashed in six goals at Adderbury Park Reserves, Alex Metcalfe grabbing a hat-trick for Kirty. Top of the individual scoring charts however is Bicester Town Colts striker Josh Patrick who got all five in his side's 5-1 demolition of Kidlington A. There were also six goals to cheer down at Chalgrove where the Cavaliers and Middleton Cheney shared the spoils with a 3-3 draw, the home side coming back from 3-1 down and playing with ten men for the second half.
The only game which didn't stretch the counting skills of the supporters was newly-promoted Oxford Irish Athletic's 2-1 win at Woodstock Town Development but even that game reportedly had its fair share of incident, with the home side hitting the woodwork on a number of occasions.
