Witney United crashed out of the Hellenic League’s AM Print & Copy Floodlit Cup 5-2 on aggregate to Shortwood United following a 3-2 defeat in their semi-final, second leg at the Polythene UK Stadium on Monday night.

Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, Witney knew they had to make a good start.

But their hopes of turning the tie around were blown away in the opening half-hour as they let in three goals.

Mish Green opened the scoring after 17 minutes.

Matthew Collins made it 2-0 four minutes later, before Andy Hoskins grabbed a third on 28 minutes.

Chris Harper and Vinny Byfield, pulled goals back before the break.

But the damage had already been done.
