There were a handful of local cup ties involving clubs from the Pitching In Southern Football League on Tuesday night.

Division One Central club Thame United secured the Oxfordshire Senior Cup after beating a young Vanarama National League South side Oxford City on Tuesday night at City’s Raw Charging Stadium.

Dan West’s 25-yard free-kick gave Thame an early 11th minute lead.

And then on 24 minutes, from slightly closer range, West doubled the Red Kites` lead from another free-kick.

And on the half-hour mark, Thame went three-up when Dave Pearce scored from close range.

Veteran Jefferson Louis made it 4-0 in the 56th minute, with City’s only response coming 5 minutes from time with 16-year-old Charlie Bacon the scorer.

Premier Division Central side, Redditch United, were beaten 2-0 by Midland League Premier Division outfit Stourport Swifts in the final of the Worcestershire Senior Cup at the Victoria Ground.

After a goalless opening period, Swifts took a 51st minute lead through Jordan Annear.

And on 65 minutes, Ben Tilbury made it 2-0 to secure Swifts` first ever Senior Cup triumph.

Needham Market edged an all-Southern League Premier Division Central Endeavour Automotive Suffolk Premier Cup semi-final tie against Leiston 1-0, courtesy of a second half Luke Ingram penalty to progress to a third consecutive final.

Needham were awarded a penalty in the 70th minute, Ingram's header flicked across the six-yard box was only partially cleared as far as Callum Page whose shot was blocked by an arm.

Penalty specialist Ingram sent Sam Donkin the wrong way to cooly place his spot-kick into the bottom right-hand corner.
