United welcomed back Steve Gregory and Andy Gledhill, albeit both Dan West and Nick Dugmore were unavailable following the midweek win at Royal Wootton Bassett.

North Leigh played with the strong wind behind them in the first half and took the lead after only three minutes when Jamie Cook ‘lobbed’ the ball over Matt Johnston for Aaron Woodley whose scuffed effort was finished at the far post by Roger James. United immediately pressed for an equaliser, first seeing a goalbound effort cleared near the line, with a Derek Feyi header from the resultant corner going over the bar. Gregory then had an effort blocked, and a Ken Feyi header caused some confusion in the visiting defence before being cleared.

The second goal for North Leigh arrived in controversial circumstances a minute before the break when the ball was played through to an off-side Jamie Cook, who swiftly turned and gave Henry Craven no chance in the Thame goal. Despite the protestations, the goal was allowed to stand.

The second half was only seven minutes old when North Leigh extended their lead, with Eric Odhiambo finishing confidently. Andy Gledhill then had a great chance to get United back in the game but Thompson in the visiting goal smothered his effort. Cook then scored his second just before the hour mark, with Odhiambo doing likewise shortly afterwards with a fine lob over Craven. Richard Platt then got in on the act, forcing the ball home following a goalmouth scramble, with Odhiambo completing his hat-trick with five minutes to go, finishing a well worked move down the right. United never gave up and got a consolation goal in the final minute with Ben Connelly finishing from a Lynton Goss corner.
