Oxford City
Consistency home and away led to a solid season for the Hoops and they deservedly reached the playoffs. Oxford City lost just one game in their opening sixteen and that was against the eventual champions. Only one side outside of the top seven beat the Hoops and that was relegated Billericay Town. Former manager, David Oldfield decided to test himself in the league above leaving for Weymouth in January. However, the Hoops maintained their top seven place for their best finish since promotion to step two. In the playoff eliminator they beat Eastbourne Borough before losing the semi-final against promoted Dorking Wanderers.
