Aston also saw off a Banbury League Side, as they saw of Bodicote by the odd goal in 7. Lewis Scott lead the way scoring twice, with Nick Angus and Sam Aston adding the others to see last years beaten semi finalists through to the next round.

Hanborough were the 4th WDFA side to defeat a Banbury side defeating Longford 2-1.

There were 3 all WDFA fixtures and all were close run affairs. Premier Division leaders Enstone would have expected a relatively easy stroll against Division 2 Kingham but they were made to work hard for a 2-0 victory with goals from Nathan Bott and a debut goal from Liam Harris.

The other 2 all WDFA fines were both won by the home team and both by a 3-2 scoreline. In the all Division 1 tie, Chadlington scraped by Combe. Jordan Charlesworth scored twice to add to an Ethan Bennett strike. Archie Hamilton and Luke Barton's goals were ultimately in vain.

Charlbury would have probably expected an easier tie against Division 3 side Wootton than the score suggests. Felix Robertson with 2 and a rare Mark Fitzgerald goal saw the home side through. Theo Flatman and Asha Townsend replied for Wootton,

Deer Park Rangers from div 3 held Hardwick of Banbury premier league for 104 mins before Josh Northam's free kick on the edge of box fired in to top bin. Then in second half of ET he fired home again to make it 0-2 Hardwick.
