Morrells of Oxford Sunday League
Andrew Ballard hammered a double for Oxford Yellows as they reached the semi-finals of the League Cup with a thrilling 3-2 victory against Star Wanderers.
With just five minutes left, it looked as though Yellows were on their way out, only for a late double goal burst to secure their passage through to the next round.
It looked all over after goals from Simon Calley and Stuart Tarr saw Wanderers cruise into a 2-0 lead. However, Yellows levelled before the dramatic finale. Joey Beauchamp was Yellows' other scorer.
Yellows now face Mansfield Road after they edged to a 4-3 victory against Oxford City Supporters, thanks to a hat-trick from Daniel Oyston and a Leon Nikitenko strike.
Rob Lucibello hit a treble in vain for Supporters.
Nelson marched into the President's Cup final with a 3-2 win against Six Bells Kidlington.
Tristan Lawrence opened the scoring for Nelson with a 30-yard volley, before Julian McCalmon's strike took a deflection off James Organ for their second.
Bells never gave up and pulled a goal back when defender James Philpott headed in a corner.
And it got even better when John McMahon stretched Nelson's lead after he fastened onto a clever back-heel from player-manager Graham Hambridge, playing his first game in six months. Although Philpott grabbed a second from Ryan Curtin's free-kick it was too late.
