Witney and District League, Division Two
Ducklington 2 Wootton Sports 3 (att 178)
It was back to the Witney and District League for my third game of the day, and the late afternoon groundhop match at Ducklington, a village on the edge of Witney.
I hadn't been too sure if I'd make it to this game, but thanks to a prompt finish at Freeland and a trouble-free drive I was inside the ground with more than five minutes to spare before the start.
Ducklington's footballers are based at the Glebelands Playing Field, where the main pitch runs lengthways on the far side of a cricket pitch from the clubhouse. The pitch was roped off for the occasion, but I doubt that's usual practice for league matches.
Division Two is the third tier of the Witney League, a level of football that is very much about participation rather than spectating. The standard wasn't great, but it was entertaining.
Ducklington got the first half's only goal, and should have scored more, They paid for missed chances when Wootton scored three second half goals, giving them enough of a cushion to absorb Ducklington's late second and still win the points.
