Despite a Danny Ross double, Oakfield came through thanks to goals from Phil McDonald, two, Sam Hart and Matt Brown.
In other matches, Adam Cantelo’s goal was enough to see Northwood past Osborne Coburg, while Allan Tyrell was on target in Cowes Sports Reserves’ win over Shanklin.
Brading Town enjoyed a fairly easy passage with a 3-0 win at Ryde Saints, Ben Armstrong, two, and Ollie Wilson scoring, while Nathan Barlow’s double and Jordan Browne’s goal ensured East Cowes Vics Reserves beat Ventnor 3-1.

Penalties decided the battle between W and B and AFC Wootton, with Wootton prevailing.
After 90 minutes the sides were locked at 1-1 (Ford Wilson for W and B, Ian Fraser for Wootton) and extra time saw no more goals, so spot kicks decided the match. Wootton won it 4-3.
