This was bottom of the league table versus fourth. Marston Saints have only picked up a single point from their fifteen games so far and that was from a 0-0 draw away at second bottom Eynsham Association, who themselves are only three points better off. Launton Sports can only realistically finish second, such is the lead Bicester Hallions hold at the top.

As expected, it was a resounding win for Launton, but they made hard work of it, despite the five goal winning margin. It was 0-2 at the break, but Marston wasted a great chance to pull it back to 1-2, missing a one on one with the ’keeper, the striker going for power, instead of placing the shot into either of the bottom corners of the net. That was it as far as Marston coming back was concerned, but it took a cracking 20 yarder into the top corner to finally kill the game off with nineteen minutes left, as Launton made it 0-3, before two more goals were added to round off a 0-5 win.

Launton are now third in the table, whilst Marston look like any chance of them climbing off the bottom has now gone, as they are now six points adrift of Eynsham Association, following their surprise 0-1 win at Southam United this afternoon.
