Goal crazy
Sunday’s County Cup ties did produce some really hefty wins and Oxford United recorded their record victory with a 32-0 thrashing of Launton – from six division beneath them – in the Oxfordshire Cup quarter-finals.
Brogan Moore topscored with seven, Georgia Timms struck six times and there was a 10-minute hat-trick by Carly Johns, while substitue Ellie Searle’s treble took just 7 minutes.
Other teams that went goal-crazy included Wolves (21-0 at Leamington Lions), Long Eaton United (16-0 v Chesterfield Junior Blues), Ipswich Town (17-0 away to AFC Kesgrave) and Barnsley Reserves who put 20 goals past Dearne & District.
