MATCH REPORT

A last minute goal saw League One side Billinge New Street make it through to the Quarter Finals of the JA Walton Close.

With the home side already missing key players, in-form Mike Woolley had to drop out after hurting his back in the warm up.

The game was a close battle with the home side feeling very hard done by to be knocked out of the competition – Billinge keeper Daniel Still with a man of the match performance.

The visitors took the lead early but goals from Sam Deering and Aaron Johnson fired Valley ahead before two late goals swung the tie.
