Bridge progressed with a gritty 4-3 win against a good Reo's side.

Lee Evans gave Bridge a great start when firing home from the edge of the box with his left foot after great work by Karl Thomas but 2 minutes later Warren Bellew equalised with a great strike for 1-1.

Marc Radley, reo's skipper then gave Reo's the lead with a 25 yarder before 33 minutes in, Lee Parry. Reo's defensive king pin, headed into his own goal after Connor Taylor tormented the full back and dangerously crossed to make it all square at the break.

Both sides then cancelled each other out before Thomas Whalleys volley in the 65th minute went inches over the bar, Terence Craddock in the Bridge goal had a fine debut, savd well before Karl Jenkins showed calmly cleard off the line and send Ste Hickson clear in the middle, Hicksons defence splitting pass put Connor Taylor through, after riding the tackle got his shot away and it flew into the bottom corner to give Timber a 3-2 lead. 2 minutes later Craddicks quick throw helped Bridge go 4-2 up when Connor Taylor skilfully tied the full back up in knots and after his shot was well saved, Jordan Neary struck home from close range for 4-2.

Reos pressed in the final minutes and pulled one back but Timbers defence, Ste Coady, Lee Evans, Peter Murphy and Karl Jenkins stood firm to take Bridge through. Lee Evans and Warren Bellew both received the man of the match awards with sterling performances.
