Luca Headford’s double helped Oxfordshire to a 3-1 win over Bedfordshire in the ESFA Under 14 Inter County Trophy second round at The Arena, Baldock.
Playing on an artificial 2G pitch, Oxon dominated the first 20 minutes and took the lead when Headford reacted quickest to a loose ball to score from eight yards.
Oxon increased their lead early in the second half with Adriel George floating the ball over the head of the home keeper from the edge of the penalty area.
Bedfordshire pulled one back, but Headford restored Oxon’s two-goal cushion from the penalty spot after Kaylem Patterson had been brought down.
The win takes Oxfordshire into the quarter-final draw on Monday.
