Hanney eventually went through 10-9 on penalties after the North Berks League teams had drawn 4-4 after extra time Brendan Morris (2), Ryan Woods and Nathan Jaggard scored for Division 3 basement club Blewbury in the first two hours, only to see their goals cancelled out by a James Bishop hat-trick and a Neil Pimm effort for the Division 4 leaders.

Another Division 4 side, Warborough United, also took Division 2 opponents Steventon all the way to penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time.

Nathan Heywood netted for Warborough, while Andy Cooper scored for Steventon who won the shoot-out 6-5.

Milton United Res drew 2-2 with Lambourn Sports Res before losing 5-4 in the shoot-out. Dan Osbourne and Jack Alder netted for Milton, but Lambourn’s Alex Toley and Damian Harris matched them.
