AFC Wulfrunians 4 Harrowby Utd 2 (aet)
And so the Wembley journey begins with Midland League Wulfrunians entertaining United Counties League side Harrowby Utd at Castlecroft.As stated in the programme notes this is a massive competition for sides at this level.With both teams hitting form there was sure to be goals and we were not to be disappointed.The hosts claimed first blood in the 16th minute when Anslow bamboozled the defender to score a nice individual goal.This goal was especially welcomed by me and my mate as we had the Golden Goal ticket. Get in ! Things got lively with some 'interesting' tackling and the referee rather made a rod for his own back by booking a couple of players rather than having a word in their ear. He eventually booked 7 or 8 players and as a result he spoiled his own performance.Shame really as this was never a dirty game, just, shall we say,robust.The visitors got a deserved equalizer but back came Wulfrunians with a penalty converted by our MOTM,King.Both teams were reduced to 10 men in the second half,the visitors being first but strangely this seemed to spur Harrowby on and they levelled with a penalty. Wulfrunians booked their place in the next round with a couple of goals in extra time.
