The rest of the half was evenly contested with both defences performing solidly.

Hide AdConingsby couldn’t believe their luck soon afterwards when Jamie Congalton pressurised a Stamford defender to pass the ball back to his goalkeeper, who unfortunately let the ball slip between his legs, allowing the Coningsby striker to continue his run and tap the ball into an empty net.
Stamford now had no option but to throw as many men forward as they dared and they were rewarded when a high cross from the left wing deceived all Coningsby’s defenders and the Stamford right winger controlled the ball and drove it into the far corner of the net.
The last ten minutes saw Stamford continue to push forward but the Coningsby defence stood firm.
Boothby narrowly missed another chance when a shot was deflected by a Stamford defender for a corner kick and, soon afterwards, the final whistle sounded blew to herald a fine 3-2 win for Coningsby and a place in the quarter-finals.
