Botley United raced to a three-goal interval lead through Lewis Boyce (2) and Michael Ward to deepen the gloom at Coleshill United.

In the North Berks League Cup, Blewbury Reserves needed extra-time to progress to the final after Faringdon Town A equalised in the dying minutes through Greg Newman.

Steventon Reserves will meet them in that Final.
