The Midland Premier side were the massive underdogs against the National League North outfit at York Street, but were well worth the draw and were denied what appeared a stonewall penalty.

Jan Yeomans opened the scoring in the 54th minute for the hosts but Ryan replied late on, tucking the ball in from a tight angle.

Then, in the dying minutes, a Carl Rogers free-kick seemed to be handled – but the referee opted not to give a spot-kick.

This is the furthest Haughmond have ever got in the competition and the draw means the two sides will meet again on Tuesday night at Shrewsbury Sports Village (kick-off 7.45pm).
