North Leigh reached the last eight of the Southern League’s Red Insure Cup for the first time with a 3-1 win over Stratford Town at Eynsham Park last night.

After the kick-off had been delayed 20 minutes due to floodlight problems, Elliott Osborne-Ricketts opened the scoring with a 20-yard left-foot drive in the 14th minute.

Stratford levelled the third-round tie nine minutes later when Simeon Tulloch scored direct from a corner.

Michael Hopkins’ shot from 20 yards in the 69th minute restored North Leigh’s lead.

And they sealed victory on 85 minutes when Osborne-Ricketts fired home a penalty after Conor Ingram was brought down by Guy Clark.
