Weather:Blowing a hoolie!
Town End took advantage of the windy conditions to lead 3-1 at the break, going ahead through Corey Bell on 21 minutes, before the Farringdon #7 equalised five minutes later with a shot from the edge of the box. Liam Laidler grabbed a brace before the break with a fine effort from outside the area, followed by a wind assisted effort from the right wing.
When Liam Wooton made it four on 64 minutes it looked game over, but the visitors took advantage of the conditions, with three goals in twelve minutes through #7, #8 and #16 to make it fours apiece with just over ten minutes remaining.
Just as the match looked to be heading towards a penalty shoot out, Laidler got on the end of a left wing cross, to complete his hat-trick and fire his team into the Challenge Cup final.
