A late goal by Ross Oulton ended Abingdon United’s fight-back and gave Banbury United a 3-2 away win in the first round of the Red Insure Cup on Tuesday.

Two headers from corners gave Banbury a good platform inside 17 minutes. Scott Cross and Adam Learoyd were the marksmen.

Abingdon pulled one back on the stroke of half-time when Billy Beechers netted from Chris Harper’s whipped cross.

And the home side were level on the hour through a Steve Davis volley.

Banbury booked their place in the second round five minutes from time when Oulton ran through to score with a shot in-off the woodwork.

A Matty Taylor hat-trick was not enough to see North Leigh through at Cirencester Town as they went down 6-4 after extra time.

His opener gave them an interval lead, and he soon made it 2-0.

Cirencester pulled it back to 2-2 with goals from Marcus Palmer and Callum Henry in the first ten minutes of the second half.

Stuart Hole’s penalty restored North Leigh’s lead before Sean Wood made it 3-3, also from the spot, in the 63rd minute.

Taylor’s third looked to have won it for North Leigh, only for Paul Banks to level at 4-4 in injury time for Cirencester.

Goals from former Didcot Town player James Mortimer-Jones and Connor Teague in the second period of extra time put the hosts through.

Oxford City also went to extra time before winning 2-1 at home to a stubborn Thatcham side.

Mark Janes broke clear and crossed for Aaron Woodley to score from close range and put City in front on 25 minutes.

Woodley also saw a header bounce off the bar before the visitors equalised on the stroke of half-time through James Clark’s header.

After a second-half blank, Andy Ballard put City through in extra time when he powered home Ashley Kingston’s corner.

Didcot Town gave an improved display, but still lost 2-1 at home to Chippenham.

The visitors took the lead via Shaun Benison, but Didcot quickly levelled with a Mark Draycott penalty after Jason Costello had been fouled.

The winner came five minutes before the break when Didcot keeper Sam Worrell allowed Ashley Edinburgh’s shot to cross the line.
