FOOTBALL: Revenge for North Leigh

11:30am Wednesday 1st February 2012 in Non League

North Leigh avenged last season’s 9-3 drubbing by seeing off a young Oxford United side 4-1 in the quarter-final at Eynsham Park.

The Evo-Stik Southern League South & West side were a goal up at half-time thanks to a penalty from skipper Stuart Hole after Marvin Ekpiteta brought down Morgan Williams.

Elliott Osbourne-Ricketts made it 2-0 on the hour, but Tyrone Marsh gave United, who comprised youth team players, some hope a minute later.

However, Michael Hopkins put North Leigh two goals clear again on 66 minutes and John Mills added the fourth.
