Scholars defeated from the spot

It was a valiant effort and the better side went out, but it's the end of another FA Cup campaign for Chasetown FC.

Chasetown 1 AFC Telford United 1

Telford win 5-4 on penalties

Chasetown thought they had made the dream start with the ball in the net early on. Jordan Evans though was deemed to have fouled goalkeeper Russell Griffiths.

The Scholars were in the ascendancy and Griffiths had to palm the ball over the bar from a long range effort from left winger Alex Curtis.

Telford forced a good save from on loan goalkeeper Elias Rouse with their first real effort on goal.

The hosts deservedly took the lead a minute before half time. Leading goalscorer Joey Butlin curled in a superb free kick from outside the penalty area.

For the third FA Cup tie running, the hosts were reduced to ten men with Ryan Wynter receiving a second yellow card.

Telford made their advantage count and levelled with a long range shot from James Hardy flew into Rouse's top corner.

Telford hit the bar late on, but a defeat in 90 minutes would have been cruel on Chasetown.

Penalties were required, but with Chasetown missing one of their five spot kicks it was Telford who proceeded into the next round.
