Weekly Round-up for Sunday 5 January 2020.

The Tracey Thomas Challenge Cup 2019-20 - Round 1

Ettington Rovers 4 Chadwick End Reserves 1

Ettington start the New Year with a bang. They were three up in 22 minutes thanks to strikes from Matthew Toms, Harry Ford and George Buckingham. That’s how it stayed until the 73rd minute when Mark Turner pulled one back for Chadwick. Within a minute Buckingham had grabbed his second to restore the three goal advantage and that’s how it stayed. Ettington go into the hat for the next round.

We move on to The Tracey Thomas Challenge Cup 2019-20 - Round 2

James Keller started it off in the 12th minute. Smith and Ros Brown then added before half time. Smith then put another couple away after the break to make his hat-trick. Ross Jackson and Andrew McGuire then each grabbed a brace to take the Vet’s into the next round.

Leamington Hibs Res 2 Heathcote Athletic 0

A giant killing here as the Division 3 side go into the next round at the expense of their Div 1 opponents. Jack Avery and Ryan Butler doing the damage as Hibs Reserves progress.

Warwick Printing 1 Blackdown 1

Printing were looking good here and it was only a late 89th minute strike from Ryan Oldham that got Blackdown back in it. Nick Ford had put the Printers ahead and that looked to be that, until Oldham popped up. So it went to Penalty Kicks.
Blackdown win 3 - 4 on penalties.
Blackdown go through to the Div 3 Cup Final.

Foresters 2 Warwick Boar 6

Boar are still chasing a Division 4 double and got the perfect start as Marc Passey grabbed his first goal of the new year on 4 minutes (fastest goal of the day) to start them off. He got his second 12 minutes later and had wrapped up a New Year hat-trick by 55 minutes. Daniel Masters and Ricky Howells kept Foresters in contention with a strike each, but Boar powered through with a brace from Adam Edwards and a single strike from Nicholas Lanau-Atkinson. Boar go into the Div 4 Cup Final.

Warwickshire Police 3 Stockton 1

A neat finish on 8 minutes from Nick Brunton set the Police on their way after the keeper had made a good save from Lee Owen, who was through on goal. The ball bounced free to Brunton who fired home from 18 yards with the keeper stranded. Veteran Tim O'Mahoney then popped up on the half hour with a thundering header, running onto a Nick Brunton cross. O'Mahoney then grabbed a second on 53 minutes which VAR would’ve ruled out for handball. Jake Cope pulled one back for Stockton but it was too little too late. The Cops go into the Div 4 Final to meet Warwick Boar.

Lillington Juniors 2 Engine FC 4
