Lambourn then scored four times in eight minutes to go 5-4 in front, before Sutton and Andy Lynham turned it around again to give Coleshill victory a 6-5.

Lambourn's Adrian Mooney saw a red card in those final few minutes while their scorers were Chris Prior, Toby Kimber, Gareth Brown, Rob Clark and Marc Fletcher .

Two wonder strikes from the outstanding Neil Sutton enabled Shrivenham A to come from behind to beat holders AFC Wallingford A 2-1 in the first round of the AG Kingham Cup.

Wallingford went ahead on 20 minutes when Paulo Di Pasquale volleyed home from close range

Shrivenham hit back quickly though when Sutton hit an unstoppable shot into the top right corner from 25 yards out.

Sutton should have put Shrivenham ahead on 50 minutes when through but his weak shot was diverted wide by Simon Blomfield in the Wallingford goal.

Blomfield was equally relieved to see a free-kick from Sutton clip the crossbar and a Liam Humphreys' shot go just wide, as Shrivenham started to get on top.

Then on 73 minutes, with little apparent threat, Sutton let fly from 30 yards to send the ball flying over Blomfield and into the net for the winner.

In other ties, Mark Smith was in the right place to get the winner for East Hendred Reserves in a 2-1 win over Steventon Reserves.

Earlier, Garry Hendry had opened the scoring for Hendred before Steventon equalised.

Faringdon Town Reserves went through 4-2 against Grove Rangers Reserves, with goals from Troy Redman (2), Lee Moss and Andy Dunbar.
