Thame
Reading City
Thame raced into an early lead through Jack Tutton before Reading City hit back just before the break, only for Curtis Brown to restore the advantage three minutes later in a whirlwind first-half spell that produced three of the match's five goals. Roger James added a third early in the second half to give Thame breathing room, and although Reading City pulled one back at 70 minutes to set up a nervy finish, Thame's cushion proved just enough to see out the tie. The result keeps Thame's cup run alive and will be seen as a statement result given Reading City's higher league standing heading into the match. For Reading City, the FA Cup exit will sting, especially having fought back twice only to fall short.
How entertaining was this match?
