Matthew Oghanna opened the scoring for Mill Park in the 12th minute only to have Oakleigh’s Roy Gregory equalise in the 26th minute.   

Mill Park however thrived on their home ground and got back out in front  6 minutes later when Dean Joncevski scored and managed to hold of Oakleigh to claim the points.

The Cup continues this week on Tuesday 17 January at 7PM when Altona East face East Kew and Heidelberg look to claim their first win against tournament debutants Malvern City.
