Ridgeway Cup R/D 3

Incredibly one game survived the freeze that otherwise totally wiped out Sunday football. Referee Roy Brayfield deemed the Ridgeway Cup tie between Berinsfield Rebels & Wallingford Wanderers playable & he was proved right as Wanderers won an excellent cup tie 3-2.

Dave Norris & Luke Higgins gave Wanderers a two goal lead, against the run of play, at the break but Rebels battled back in the second period & squared the tie as James Dixon struck twice. The game was decided though, on an own goal with 20 minutes to go & it was Wanderers who booked their place in the next round, in a game with some excellent football played by both sides.
