I drove over to Liverpool earlier today to watch the quarter final game between:
Mariners 1 Duke of York 2
Played at Liverpool County FA ground - Walton Hall Park, Liverpool
Duke of York from Northampton started brightly and forced Mariners on the back foot from the start. They took the lead after 20 minutes, when Dan Holman latched on to a through ball and slotted home past the advancing keeper.
Mariners should have equalised very shortly after, when Sean Tierney created some space in the penalty box only to see his shot go agonisingly wide of the goal. Mariners did restore parity on 35 minutes through Ryan Keyo's clinical finish.
Duke of York regained the lead 10 minutes in to the 2nd half, when Mariners keeper Kevin O'Brien, failed to hold Dan Quigley's free kick and the ball fell for Dan Holman, who tapped in from close range.
O'Brien redeemed himself a few minutes later, when he tipped Ben Foster's effort round the post.
Both teams created chances and Mariners had to make two goal line clearances in the 86th minute, to keep the tie alive. Despite the trickery of Keyo and pushing central defender Mark White upfront, Mariners were unable to find another equaliser and Duke of York progress to the semi final.
