Uxbridge made light work of Hungerford Town in the opening 45 minutes, scoring three times to effectively settle the tie before half-time. M. Ciaran broke the deadlock early with a ninth-minute strike, and George Moore doubled the advantage just before the break, before a third goal right on the stroke of half-time made it 3-0 and put the result beyond doubt. Hungerford gave themselves a glimmer of hope through Ackeem Stewart's 76th-minute response, but the gulf established in the first half proved too much to overcome. For Uxbridge, this is exactly the kind of statement cup performance that builds momentum heading into their next assignment, while Hungerford will need to shake off this disappointment quickly.
