The rest of the match was a typical cup tie, ‘Field looked solid defensively and had the upper hand in most other area’s but they could not quite finding the eqaliser they searched for. That was until with 7 mins to go they threw Steve Buckland forward from centre back, his first run saw him burst down the right and cut a perfect ball back for Sam Lewiston who gleefully fired home the equaliser that his hard working had performance deserved. Both sides then had a couple of half chances before in the last min of extra time Jamie Folley surged down the left and crossed for Mike Robson, he got across his man and lifted the ball over the keeper only to see it come back off the cross bar. The sides then had to face penalties both scoring 4 out of 5 before the Walton keeper made a good save from Folley’s kick to put them in the next round.
