GOALKEEPER Matt Bulman was the hero for the second successive round as he scored and saved penalties to see North Leigh beat Aylesbury after a shoot-out.

After an entertaining 90 minutes at Eynsham Park finished level all square at 4-4, the second round clash went straight to spot kicks.

Bulman had starred in the Millers’ victory on penalties at Didcot Town in the side’s previous tie last month.

And that practice proved useful, as he saved all three of Aylesbury’s efforts, before blasting his own penalty into the net.
