Although there are only five teams in the Football Combination Northern Division, the table is incredibly tight.
Victory for Oxford United against Colchester on Wed-nesday night could have seen them go top.
But they lost 3-1, and are now bottom!
Assistant manager Mickey Lewis said of the performance: “I thought the two young full backs, Lewis Alderman and David Lynn, did very well.
“We had a go when we were behind, but couldn’t get a goal to back into it.
“Nearly all of the Colchester side have featured for the first team at some point, so it was a good test for us.”
You can tell the nights are drawing in and getting colder now as Lewis, who usually wear shorts in whatever the weather, actually donned a pair of tracksuit trousers for the match.
