Revenge is sweet as Rock progress
Holders Allscott suffered a shock extra-time defeat to bow out of this season's Shropshire Challenge Cup in the second round as Rock Rovers progressed with a fine 4-2 win.
The result came only a week after Allscott had enjoyed a 4-2 win over Rovers in the Mercian Regional League.
Shrewsbury-based Rock got their revenge underway by taking an early lead through Glenn Evans' bullet header..
But Allscott hit back to equalise through a Ryan Edwards rocket midway through the second half and the score remained 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes.
Allscott then took the lead in the first period of extra-time but it was to be short-lived as in the second period, Rock rattled in three unanswered goals to seal an excellent victory.
Liam Jones, 16, tied it up at 2-2 with an assured finish before Rock seemed to find another gear with Jordan Price latching onto a ball over the top ball from Kingsley Brown before rounding the keeper and handing them the lead.
There was still time for striker Evans to smash in his second and Rock's fourth to complete a remarkable turnaround.
Elsewhere in the County Cup second round, Prees progressed with a 2-0 home win over Wrockwardine Wood Juniors.
But there were exits for Wroxeter Rovers, who were beaten 4-2 by visiting AFC Broseley at the Unison Club.
While Church Stretton were also dumped out after losing 2-1 on home turf to FC Hodnet.
Whitchurch Alport Reserves crashed to a heavy 7-3 home defeat to Craven Arms.
