North Berks League: Wallingford A are through to the final of the Nairne Paul Cup for a third successive year, after a 4-0 win over Kintbury Rangers Res.

The pivotal moment came when Kintbury's experienced Mark Wilcock was sent off for reacting to a challenge with a hand in the face of Tito Rodriguez.

Two goals in three minutes from Chris Allum drained Kintbury's respolve resolve. Matthew Leach powered in No 3, and young Sam Elkins skilfully chipped the keeper to complete the scoring.

In the other semi-final, Division 3 promotion contenders Blewbury Res went through in style, beating Saxton Rovers Res 5-1.

Johnny Pearce drilled Blewbury into the lead and Lee Cebici's header made it 2-0, before Steve Peirson nipped in to reduce the deficit.

In the second half, Ben Chaffey's half-hit shot and Pearce's opportunist goal killed off Rovers before Luke Settle's strike settled it.
