Bedfordshire League: Senior trophy quarter finals

The away side - who came from behind three times - eventually went down 4-3.

A brace from Barry Dellar and a goal from Tom Cookman put Caldecote into the lead before responses from Martin Ivy, Lyndon Ingerson and Roger Goff looked like sending the tie into extra time. However, Boyd popped up in the 92nd minute to put an end to that prospect and send Caldecote through.

Chris Johnson, another from Thorne, Luigi Rocco and two from Ash Kersey put the away side out of sight. Penalties converted by Liam Tinkler and Jamie Cole completed the rout.

Joining these three clubs in the Semi-final draw will be United Counties League Potton United who ran out 4-2 home winners over Langford at The Hollow.
