(Oxford City win 6-5 on penalties)

Oxford City Women secured their place in the final of the Oxfordshire FA Women's Cup Final with a penalty shootout win over Oxford University.


The Hoops went behind after just eight minutes, but levelled through Emily Harris' superb individual goal ten minutes later.


The forward showed individual brilliance to beat her marker and open the space to rifle home a shot into the top corner of the net from 18-yards out.


A tightly-contested cup tie went to the wire as neither side could edge ahead in the ninety. That meant the tie went straight to a nerve-racking penalty shootout.


Despite the pressure, both teams dispatched all of their five regular penalties, and the shootout went to sudden death.


However, on the sixth spot-kick, Oxford Uni fluffed their lines.


That left Summer Major with the task of sending The Hoops through to the final with a pressure penalty.


Nevertheless, despite the pressure, the Velocity Football graduate made no mistake from the spot to secure Connor Walton's side a place in the final.


The Hoops will now face Oxford United Women in the final on Sunday 28th April at Kidlington FC.


Congratulations, girls!
