Sam Donaldson put KEA ahead on 40 minutes, only for strikes from Joel Hart, Richard De Freitas and James McMahon to give ABK a 3-1 half-time lead.

Kevin Earl pulled one back, but a spectacular Des Mansell own goal restored ABK’s two-goal cushion.

Tom Daley increased ABK’s lead with a cracking shot, before Andy Berry notched KEA’s third goal.

Ollie Hemblen scored a second-half winner as Kings Sutton saw off Bardwell 2-1 in Division 1.

Luke Gibbard’s opener for Sutton was cancelled out by Julio Pertuz in the first half.

Mike Hawken hit a hat-trick in Bell Sports’s 5-1 home win over Banbury Galaxy in Division 3.

Nathan Crowder bagged Bells’ two other goals, with Nick Smillie scoring a penalty for Banbury.

Tom Stevens scored a hat-trick in 15 second-half minutes as Deddington Res beat Kings Sutton Res 3-0 in the Eric Morris Cup semi-finals.
