FOOTBALL: Williams fires hat-trick as North Leigh slam seven in FA Cup

The Combined Counties League had no answer to their Southern League visitors, who had the game won at half-time when they led 4-0.

Williams opened the scoring after nine minutes from Kieran Saunders’s low cross.

Aaron Woodley made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the 16th minute after he had been bundled over in the area.

Sanders rounded the keeper to make it 3-0 and an own goal by Cove defender Jordan Stepney, who diverted Woodley’s right wing cross into his net, made it 4-0 at the break.

Cove’s best effort had come from midfield Jack Howard who thudded a shot against a post.

In a low-key second half, Williams knocked home a rebound to make it 5-0 in the 67th minute.

Elliott Osborne-Ricketts scored the sixth and then crossed for Williams to complete his hat-trick in the 76th minutes.

North Leigh visit another Combined Counties League side Chessington & Hook in the first qualifying round on September 12.

Banbury United had Andy Gunn sent off as they went down 5-2 at Hartley Wintney.

Duran Martin put Banbury ahead in the 18th minute from Darius Browne’s cross, but the host equalised within a minute thanks to Rossi Cook’s free-kick.

Gunn was dismissed in the last minute of the first half for a foul, but Banbury keeper Jack Harding saved the resultant penalty.

Banbury regained the lead through Mark Bell in the 58th minute, but the pressure of playing with ten men proved too great and they conceded further goals through Steven Duff and Cook, who completed his-hat-trick.

Kidlington eased into the second round with a 4-1 win at Chertsey Town thanks to a hat-trick from Anaclet Odhiambo.

Lewis Cole also scored for the Uhlsport Hellenic league team, who will next visit Marlow or Godalming, who will replay tomorrow night after a 1-1 draw.

Hook Norton drew 1-1 at home to Burnham, thanks to a goal from Dan Reeves, while Milton United went down 1-0 away to Cheltenham Saracens, whose winner came from John Evans.
