Despite losing first choice keeper Luke Watts to a fractured ankle before the game had started, the Original Swan continued their winning ways with a 3-1 win at Union Street.

Aaron Barrett opened the scoring when he beat the offside trap, Swan failed to clear a Union Street free kick and Alex Pratchett swooped to poke home an equaliser.
It wasnt until the 70th minute that Swan got their second when Aaron Barrett bagged his brace, Lee Spencer then came off the bench to score Swan's third after a delightful solo run round the Street players saw his shot hit the back if the net. The score could have been more if not for a fine display of goalkeeping by Ace Edmunds in the Street goal, Ryan Coles also saw red for the Swan.
This result saw Barton United leapfrog Union Street to go third after a convincing 13-1 win at Summertown, Craig Dean and Jamie McCuaig got six goals apiece with Micky Rowland wrapping up the scoring for Barton.
Over at Oakley where the visitors were Masons Arms, Oakley took a 2-0 lead into the half time break. Masons though came out for the second half and found themselves 3-2 in front with goals from Chris Webb, Jamie Long (pen) and Andy McBrien.
Masons seemed to be taking the points when in the last minute of the game the Oakley forward found himself through on goal, as he rounded the keeper Reece Horwood dived at his feet and was adjudged to have bought the player down and was shown a red card. His replacment Chris Webb got a hand to the ball but it wasnt enough and Oakley had salvaged a point.
