HOLME ROVERS  2  NORTHERN WANDERERS A  2

Holme Rovers faced Northern Wanderers A in a league/Preliminary Round Divisional Cup tie and it went all the way to a penalty shoot out after it ended in a 2-2 draw. Northern held their nerve to win 4-3 on penalties to make the quarter finals to be held in April. Holme opened the scoring in the first half with the visitors vainly appealing for off side. Northern were back on level terms by half time after Aaron Linford scored. In the second half Graeme Hoff hit a great strike from outside the box to put Northern ahead for the first time. Holme piled on the pressure and it eventually paid off they equalised late on, from then on both sides went looking for the winner but there were no further goals. The penalty shoot out saw both keepers saved two each out of the first five taken and sudden death saw both sides miss their sixth penalty. Northern`s keeper then saved the next penalty before Lee Albrow scored to put Northern through.
