This is a repeat of last seasons Oxfordhsire Cup Final with Thame retaining their 2022/23 title with a hard fought 3-2 victory over Kidlington at the Banbury Plant Hire Stadium, in a close match in which Kidlington took the lead Thame equalised with a goal from Louis Fountain. Kidlington went back in front in the second half, but late goals from Eitel Goueth from the spot and Harry Alexander saw Thame over the line. In this seasons competition both clubs have had one tie, Thame comfortably beatng Adderbury Park 9 - 1, While Kidlington went down to Woodcote Park, but were later awarded the tie, due to a rule infringement.
