A Thursday night "Cup Shock" in Nostell. Home of the Miners Welfare, NCEL Premier League. A Northern Counties East League Cup Semi-Final, Louth Town of the NCEL Division One, the visitors making a 170 mile round trip, the match ended 3-3. With no goals in extra time, the penalty shootout went the way of the "White Wolves", 4-3. Daryl Clare's troops would meet Thackley AFC in the Final at Staveley Miners Welfare on May Day. Could they beat another club from a higher division?
