App Frod Juniors 3-4 Dale Park

Dale Park kept alive hopes of winning a trophy this season after a tight win at a side bottom of a league. Despite a cagey few opening minutes, Park eventually got off the mark. Lewis Clark's expert free-kick found Jack Lacey-Hatton and the steer post to steer in the opener beyond the keeper. However Frod were a tough side to put away and scored from a controversially given free-kick, which was fired beyond Finney. Our response was brilliant, Jack Rhodes cross finding Clark at the back post to make it 2-1. The second half was a lot more of a battle after Rhodes was forced off with an ankle injury. Joe Siddons levelled for Juniors with an absolute screamer but Nick Wingate put us back in front after lobbing the keeper from Harvey's long ball. His corner then set up Johnstone to secure the win with only 15 minutes to play. However we were given a nervy last few minutes after Merrill gave away a penalty Lingard stepping up to make it 4-3. We hung on and made it to the semi-final with Bottesford awaiting.
