Horspath 2 (Weeks-Pearson 80, Chase 88)
Hook Norton 1 (Smith)
Substitute Matt Chase grabbed a late winner as Horspath reached the quarter-finals for the first time with a shock win over Hellenic Premier side Hook Norton.
Hook Norton took the lead in the third-round tie when Jamie Smith hit a 25-yard screamer past a static Horspath defence. But the Oxfordshire Senior League side gained in confidence as the first half went on, and should have drawn level when James Keeble missed from six yards.
Horspath dominated the second half, but didn't equalise until ten minutes from time when substitute Jon Weekes-Pearson shot into the bottom corner.
And then Chase slotted home in the dying minutes to give Horspath a home quarter-final against North Leigh.
