PENISTONE Church won on penalties after a 1-1 draw at home to Handsworth in the NCEL League Cup quarter-final on Wednesday evening.
Sam Scrivens put Church in front then, after an equaliser, goalkeeper Adam Lawlor saved a penalty in the 5-4 shoot-out win.
Co-manager John Whitehead said: “It was a pretty edgy affair for both teams.
“We cancelled each other out a little bit. We defended pretty well but weren’t firing going forwards.
“You can’t fault the desire and determination. We just lacked quality for large periods of the game.
“Scriv’s goal was an outstanding finish then they threw everyone forward in the second half and we conceded a really poor goal when they were down to ten men due a sin bin.
“You won’t see a better ten penalties, even the one that was saved. Lawlor made a great save and we’re in the hat.”
