SIX Basingstoke League sides made it into the second round of the Hampshire Junior B Cup.

Sherborne Saints returned from their trip to Redlynch and Woodfalls United 4-2 winners.

It took them 20 seconds to take the lead. It came following a five man move and a smooth finish from Alex Izzo.

Liam Doran extended the lead in the 20th after taking a pass from Tobi Judd. Sloppy defending allowed the home team to pull a goal back by half time.

They then equalised a minute into the second half.

It was Doran with his second from the Matt Kelly cross that saw Saints in front again in the 75th and they assured their path into the second round when in the 83rd the home keeper pulled off a fine save from a shot by Matt Livingstone following a corner by Warren Hill and Izzo followed up to bury the loose ball.

Basingstoke Athletic saw off visiting Ryde Sports A 10-1 and included Tobie Hyde, who although not amongst the scorers, was a big influence in midfield.

The Islanders scored first from a penalty, but by half time it became 3-1, goals from Matt Dean, George Byrne and Kieran Challis who eventually scored four.

Lee O’Grady, normally at centre back moved up front for this game and netted a hat-trick and Byrne scored his second.

Longdog Soldiers are through after winning a penalty shoot-out 5-4 after their game against Compton Reserves ended 2-2, as they came back from 2-0 down.

An own goal put Soldiers back in with a chance following after a shot from Nathan Bedford, took a deflection off the luckless Compton defender.

Then with five minutes left, Louis Purcell came up with the equaliser. The Longdog goalkeeper Jake Barnes saved the second spot kick from Compton and then all five, taken by Sam Mosdell, Jake Pratchett, Terry Dingley, Sam Trodd and Max Trodd were converted.

Twentyten Reserves proved too strong for Southampton visitors Inmar and cruised through with a 7-3 win.

They took a three goals lead, before Inmar replied and it was 4-1 at half time. Dan Hancock scored four, with singles from Adam Sawko, Jack Barrett and Jack Hulbert.

Two more teams AFC Berg and Somesay were handed walkovers as their opponents Baughurst Reserves and Hamble United were unable to raise a team.

Two more made their exit they were Origin Headley and Basingstoke Colts. Origin were well beaten 6-0 by Coal Exchange at home. Their only worthy effort in the game was shot by Bradley Hawkins hitting the bar.

Basingstoke Colts had a good first half against visitors Hythe Aztecs and were well worth their two goal lead by the 22nd minute.

Benica Oprea netted after the goalkeeper parried a cross from Connor Pullen.

The Hythe goalkeeper could not hold a a shot by Oprea and Caius Joseph was on hand to net.

Luke Ratcliffe almost made it 3-0 with fine strike only to see it cleared off the line and soon after in the 35th minute the visitors had luck when a free-kick hit Liam Self and resulted in an own goal and the visitors were back in the game.

Four minutes into the second half it was 2-2, a misjudgement by Reese Emery and as Colts became hampered with injuries, Hythe scored twice in the final five minute.

Overton United A are the only Basingstoke League team in the Hampshire Junior A Cup action lost 2-1 to Bournemouth Manor Reserves at Berrydown.

They went a goal down in the opening 10 minutes, a mis-hit shot looped over the helpless Szymon Duzynsky. It took Overton just 10 minutes to draw level. Scott Winterbourne took a 25-yard free-kick, it hit the wall and came out for him to direct the rebound into the net.

The Bournemouth side regained the lead on the hour, but opportunities were rare, with Matt Lowe and Armand Ince unable to take advantage, however in the last minute Winterborne missed a sitter that would have forced a penalty shoot-out.
