Northamptonshire FA Area Cup:
Gavin Oliff may have himself a new superstition after his exploits this week in the tie between Weedon Reserves and Charlton. Whatever his pre-match routine involved certainly worked as he single-handedly accounted for the opposition, scoring all of the goals in Weedon’s 5-0 win. While nobody else in the competition came close to his sharpshooting tally, there were a further five marksmen who found braces in abundance.  Steve Musgrave chalked his up for Wollaston Reserves in their 3-2 win away at ON Chenecks ‘A’, and Steve Harrison, and Darren Harrison marked their names twice as Corby Everards and Corby Talisman beat Yardley Gobion Reserves and Harpole ‘A’ by the same scoreline. Ryan Knight and Jon Ogden rounded out the quintet with their strikes as Stanwick Reserves saw off Middleton Cheney Reserves 4-1.
Sam Desborough struck the winner for Finedon Volta in their entertaining 4-2 away to Corby Kingswood, and Andy Renaldson popped up for Kettering Park Rovers in their 3-2 home win against Earls Barton Reserves.
Daventry Drayton Grange provided the days other high spot against opposition from other leagues as they nicked a win away at Wicken Sports 4-3. Sadly the other fixtures went in favour of the Peterborough and Northampton Town leagues. Werrington and Kingscliffe dumped out Orchard Park Reserves and Locomotives Reserves respectively, while Weldon ‘A’ and Heyford Reserves went out to Town League sides Blisworth ‘A’ and Strip Mills Reserves.
