From the Oxford Mail, first published Tuesday 18th Dec 2007.

Cholsey United stormed into the last 16 of the Berks & Bucks Sunday Intermediate Cup with a 6-1 victory over Newbury Sunday League Premier Division side Brimpton.

The reigning Junior Cup champions came from behind in the third-round tie, with Andy Allum bagging a brace, one from the penalty spot, and Tom Hammond grabbing two goals.

Johnny Hammond and Mickey Fellows also netted for Cholsey.

A Matty Peates double helped Wallingford Exiles beat Autotype UTV rivals Abingdon Exiles 4-2 in the third round of the B &B Junior Cup.

Another strike from Mark Littleford gave Wallingford what seemed to be a safe three-goal lead at the break, but Abingdon hit back to make it 3-2 with just minutes to go.

Wallingford keeper Grant Jaquest denied Abingdon a last-gasp equaliser before Gary Miller went up the other end and fired home with the last kick of the game.

Brightwell Rebels came away from Thatcham with a super 5-2 win over Blue Ball in the third round of the B &B Junior Trophy.

Luke Ayling was the Rebels hero with a hat-trick. Nathan Gray and Luke Higgins also netted.

Didcot Casuals went down 3-0 at Celtic Rangers.
