Horspath 2nd face Rowant in Cherwell opener

13 Jan 2026

Horspath 2nd will open their Cherwell League Division 1 campaign against Aston Rowant 2nd at the Recreation Ground on Saturday, May 9.
The side, who were promoted as Division 2 runners-up last season, will then visit Banbury 2nd in week two.
Their programme ends on September 5 with a repeat of last season's finale against Westbury, which saw the Buckinghamshire club claim victory and the Division 2 title by one point. 
Having been promoted to Division 3B following a league restructure, Horspath 3rd also start at home with Buckingham Town 2nd the visitors.
They are then away to Bledlow Ridge on the second Saturday with the season finishing at home to Bicester & North Oxford 2nd.
Horspath 4th venture into the unknown on the opening day with a trip to Hertfordshire newcomers Little Gaddesden.
The Berkhamsted-based side have been allowed into the Cherwell for one season as they don't have a league to play in this year.
The first home game is the following Saturday against Bledlow Ridge 2nd. They sign off the season away to local rivals Oxford 3rd at Marston Road Sports Ground.
