North Berks League

Division 1 high-fliers Saxton Rovers suffered a shock exit in the North Berks Cup as they crashed out 7-6 on penalties against Division 3 leaders Kingsclere in the first round.

The match finished goalless after extra time, and then six of the first ten spot-kicks were missed or saved.

The two sides then converted in turn until Rovers missed the 20th penalty to go out.

Robbie Harrington's 11th goal of the season gave Faringdon Town a 1-0 win at Harwell International.

Steventon edged past Blewbury 2-1, with Adam Walker and Kevin Allen on target.

In Division 1, Wallingford Athletic deepened the gloom at Marcham, racking up a 5-0 win with goals from Chris Allum (2), Brad Chalmers, Andy Allum and an own goal.

Mark Orlando and Stephen Munns struck for Drayton in a 2-2 draw at Grove Rangers, Chris Whitworth and Paris Lewis replying.

In Division 3, Didcot Casuals notched an early season double with a 4-2 win at Drayton Res.

Scott Prior, Jake Chaffey, Nick Guiry and Lewis Monaghan did the damage, with Alan Osborne and Lee Kogel netting for Drayton.

Marcham Res picked up their first point from a 3-3 draw at Warborough & Shillingford.

Strikes by Gary Rudman, Martin Bond and James Almond for Warborough were cancelled out by Marcham's Tristan Barrett (2) and Lewis Hill.

The only game in Division 4 saw Stanford-in-the-Vale Res record their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory at Long Wittenham Res.

Stanford were grateful to Dave Johnson and Max Kelly for their goals, while Oliver Saunders netted for Wittenham.
