The other game was not as straight forward, with Euxton Villa taking a two goal lead in at half time in their derby with Charnock Richard. The visitors reduced the arrears only for Euxton to restore the two goal lead with just seven minutes remaining. However two late goals for the visitors meant penalties! Euxton won from the spot 4-3 to take their place in the next round.
Onto Saturday, and Telford Town become another side to reach the Quarter Final at the first attempt after a 4-0 win over Runcorn Town. Kyron Cooper started and ended the scoring for Telford, with both sides missing penalties in that game.
