Alliance East round up

Marlow FC Reserves sit proudly at the top of the Alliance East, unbeaten in their opening four games and boasting 10 points. But it’s Hungerford Town Reserves who have stolen the early headlines, smashing in a staggering 26 goals in just three outings. With a game in hand on the leaders, they’re the team everyone’s watching.

Eversley & California and Headington Amateurs are keeping pace too, both with six points on the board. Headington in particular look dangerous, two games, two wins, and yet to taste defeat. Easington Sports and Banbury United Development are hovering just behind, waiting to kick-start their campaigns.

At the other end, it’s already looking bleak for Kidlington Development and Hambleden, both winless and leaking goals at an alarming rate. Hambleden’s defence has been torn apart, conceding 24 in just three matches, while Kidlington have shipped 18 themselves. Penn & Tylers Green and Ardley United Reserves have at least managed to get off the mark, but both remain searching for that elusive first win.

Alliance West around up

Carterton FC Development are top of the pile in the Alliance West after three games, unbeaten and sitting on seven points. But their grip on first is anything but secure, with University of Bristol and Wantage Town U23 breathing right down their necks.

The Students have impressed with two wins from three, boasting a healthy +6 goal difference, while Wantage have been clinical, two games, two wins, and looking like serious contenders if they can keep up the momentum.

Clanfield (85) Reserves sit mid-table with four points, steady but inconsistent, while Mangotsfield United Development and Highworth Town Reserves both hover on three points, still trying to find their rhythm.

At the other end, Bourton Rovers and Evesham United Reserves have at least got off the mark, but UDA Glos Development and Newent Town Development are stuck at the bottom with zero points and leaky defences
