ABINGDON will be hoping to lift the Preston Cup for only the third time in 90 years when they host the final stages at Albert Park on Saturday (9.15am).

Having won through to the quarter-finals, Abingdon will line-up alongside Hagbourne, Carterton, Woodstock, Headington, Three Mile Cross and Prospect Park.

Abingdon have won the cup only twice – 1956 and 1963. It was presented by alderman Arthur Preston and first played for in 1921 when the first winners were Palmer Park.

Last year’s winners Watlington suffered an early exit in a preliminary round.
