WARRINGTON Town's penalty shoot-out cup defeat of Waterloo Dock in November will long live in the memory of the 89 people who watched it.

The second-round win in the Liverpool Senior Cup was quite extraordinary considering the circumstances leading up to the match on November 23.

But the reward was special, with Town drawing Liverpool FC at home in the third round.

For Town, it was their third game in six days and only two players that started the previous match against Woodley Sports were selected.

Waterloo Dock, on the other hand, arrived at Cantilever Park with an unbeaten 11-match record in the top flight of the new Liverpool County Premier League.

Town battled well throughout but, with five minutes remaining and after two disallowed goals, they were trailing 1-0.

Substitute Phil Mitchell levelled the tie from the penalty spot in the 85th minute to force extra time.

Waterloo Dock went ahead from the penalty spot in the first period of extra time but Mitchell equalised after a weaving run to set up the penalty shoot-out.

Town converted all their spot kicks in the shoot-out but Dock hit the bar with their sixth, leaving Town to go through 6-5.
