The Plough Inn suffer semi-final despair

The favourites were 2-0 up before the Shropshire side equalised twice in the last 10 minutes, forcing extra time where they were defeated.

Former pro striker Leighton McGivern broke the deadlock with a free kick in the first-half, his effort sailing into the bottom left hand corner.

Jamie Rainsford made it 2-0 through a one-on-one with goalkeeper Graham Hampton near to the hour, before the Plough battled back late on.

Lester Alderson gave them hope with a header from Jaton Vernon's cross, before their equaliser just in the nick of time bought them 30 more minutes.

Matthew Elsmore's finish in the six yard box sent both sides into extra time where Martyrs scored again in the first-half, putting the Plough on the back-foot.

Hampton couldn't hold McGivern's free kick, allowing Michael Rimmer to creep in and finish, setting up a tense finale in front of 258 people at Marine Football Club.

Martyrs substitute Dean Forshaw was sent off after clashing with Marc Stallard, who agonisingly hit the post after sliding in late on for what would have took the tie to penalties.

Plough landlord Ed Lowe said: "We are on a bit of a downer but the lads can hold their heads up high, we equalled them on the day and we bettered them for chances.

"It's our first year in the competition and we have reached the semi-final, we were the underdogs and they under-estimated us and I don't think that will happen again.

"It was a good game, a great advert for the competition and we gave them a real scare. We gave them too much respect in the first-half, but the second-half paid off for us.

"We will be back, next year we will be gunning for Martyrs whatever round it comes along, we want to put the record straight."
