Wednesday, 07 September 2011
Holbeach made their exit from the FA Cup in extra time against higher grade Hucknall at Carters Park.
The step 4 side took a 31st minute lead through Nick Ghislanzoni's well taken effort, but Jonny Allen levelled for the Tigers ten minutes into the second half, firing home after an Ashley Stevens run.
Both Andy Tidswell and Mitch Griffiths struck the woodwork for Holbeach, the latter with almost the last kick of the 90 minutes.
Adam Jackson was next to rue his luck as the woodwork foiled him in the first period of extra time.
Substitute Matt Baxter put Hucknall back in front in the dying seconds of the first period of extra time, crashing home a 25 yard volley.
Ghislanzoni was dismissed in the second half of extra time but Carl Westcarr wrapped up the visitors passage to the next round with two minutes remaining following a break by the visitors.
Holbeach: Leigh Overton, Mitch Griffiths, Adam Jackson, Dane Harper (Nick Brown), Ben Brown, Jamie Stevens, Luke Kennedy (Shaun Keeble), Paul Goodhand, Andy Tidswell, Ashley Stevens, Jonny Allen (Tommy Treacher).
