Didcot Town extended their unbeaten streak in the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup to 37 seasons with a 2-0 victory over Isthmian South Central League side Binfield on Saturday. The Railwaymen secured the win thanks to two goals from Owen James at their home ground.

The match was closely contested in the opening half hour, with both sides creating chances but unable to break the deadlock early on. Didcot’s Dylan Conlan came close with a powerful angled shot that rattled the post, while Binfield’s Monty Brady also hit the woodwork during the first half.

The breakthrough came when George Reid, returning to Didcot after a spell with higher-tier club Basingstoke, delivered a precise cross that James converted on his second attempt. This goal proved crucial in shifting momentum in Didcot’s favor.

Despite several missed opportunities, Didcot Town sealed the win when James capitalized on a low cross from substitute Reuben Harry late in the match, securing a 2-0 scoreline. The result ensures Didcot Town’s continued progress in the competition and maintains their remarkable record of never having lost at this stage.
