(Mill Brow won 8-7 on penalties)

THE semi-final of the Drinkwater cup saw a tight game with few chances.

Both sides had goals ruled offside before Kev Morris opened the scoring spectacularly with only four minutes to go.

Mill Brow responded almost immediately to send the game into extra time where they had the better of the chances before penalties loomed.

Mill Brow's keeper calmly slotted the final penalty to give Mill Brow the win.
