The Southam United end-of-season charge continued at Bobby Hancocks Park on Saturday when they put five goals past Yarnton FC to guarantee at least a third place finish in the Oxfordshire Senior League Premier Division.
Vice Captain Simon Barby, the only player to have started in every match this season, donned the captain’s armband for the day in recognition of his 50th appearance for Saints and saw his side go into a 10th minute lead through Melvin Mauritson, an advantage that was doubled by Jay Lawes in the 33rd to give them a 2-0 cushion at the break.
Ethan Champkins scored a third soon after the restart and Saints finished with a flourish, adding two more late on through substitute Ricky Barby in the 85th minute and a second from Champkins, his fourth in five matches, in the 87th.
“That was another top drawer performance” said manager Richard Kay. “Our football was brilliant to watch and we had great support again from the fans.”
