Benjamin Knight and Thomas O’Regan put the visitor ahead and although Ellis Read pulled one back it was the lower ranked side that went through.
It took extra time for Premier Division leaders Stapleford Town to overturn a two goal deficit to edge past Ravenshead from the division below. Joe Maguire converted two penalties in the opening half an hour for the Reds, who held the two goal lead right up until the 78th minute when Adam Hassell pulled one back with a header. It wasn’t until stoppage time that Stapleford got back to level terms when Ben Cheatle, making his first appearance of the season, netted an audacious cross-cum-shot. Junior Rodriguez completed the turnaround three minutes into the second period of extra time to keep his side’s double hopes alive. It also took extra time for Southwell City to see off FC Cavaliers. City took an early lead through Bradley Peace-McDonald and, despite a host of other chances, were unable to extend their advantage. They were made to rue the missed opportunities when substitute Arnyda Wenazo scored late on for Cavs to take the tie to an extra period. Ultimately Jonathan Upton spared Southwell’s blushes and it is they who will contest a semi-final following their 2-1 win.

Dave joined the club as a committee member 2000/01 season when he was a valued member of the club, involved in fundraising, ground assistant and many other activities. He became chairman of the club in 2006 until 2010. He was always available on match days, ensuring the pitch was in good order, nets up, pitch well marked, always gave a warm welcome to match officials, and opponents always liked to chat after the game in the welfare. After standing down as chairman he continued working for the club and was always always available to help out in any situation. Dave was a great fundraiser for the club helping with the lottery sales. He took on the role of lottery promoter in 2008, selling tickets every weekend until his passing on Monday evening.
