Crowmarsh 0 Harwell Village 1
H. V. scored the opening goal in the first minute and despite a very good competive game played in difficult conditions neither side could find the net again. Very few chances were created through out but the game was played in a good sporting manner by both sides who did their best to overcome the wet weather.
Blewbury 1 Didcot town 1
A very close game with both sides coping well with the rain. Blewbury opened up the scoring 5 mins.into the second half but Didcot"s young side kept going and forced the equaliser 10 mins. from time.Gary Winsor was to be congratulated on the way he handled the game.
Hagbourne 1 Steventon 4
A good even game but Hagbourne paid the price for not taking their chances as well as Steventon who ran out comfortable winners in a game played in a good spirit with both sides showing good conduct through-out
Long Wittenham 2 Sutton Courtney 3
A good competive and sporting game well refereed in the very wet conditions.
S.C. went ahead with L.W. equalising to give a half time score of 1-1. Both sides used all their subs. in the second half with L.W. pressing only for S.C. to score twice midway through the half. L.W.came close several times but S.C. stood firm with their keeper making some good saves but he could not prevent L.W. second goal some three mins. from time
