Holyhead Town 1 CPD Gaerwen 1 (Holyhead won 7-6 on pens)

A penalties victory for a Holyhead Town side which has performed well in cups this season.
The first chance for Town fell to Andy Will whose shot was saved, forcing a corner which created an opportunity for Ian Williams who fired over.
Big blow for Gaerwen on 26 minutes when goalkeeper Szymon Tyszko was sent off for handling outside of the box.
Despite being down to 10 men, the Auctioneers had the better of the first half’s remainder, hitting the post with a low effort before taking the lead on 36 when a deep cross was missed and headed back across goal by Callum Thomas and tapped in by Aaron Jones.
Gaerwen started the second half brighly, firing a free kick wide before being denied by a fine Steff Parry stop.
Holyhead began to impose themselves on the game with Callum Queen going close. As Gaerwen tired, the Harbourmen piled on the pressure but couldn’t create anything to test the stand-in keeper.
Just as it looked like Gaerwen would see the game out, a handball in the box led to a 93rd minute penalty which was converted by Craig Moore to make it 1-1, forcing extra time.
Chances either end in the added half-hour but no goals and a dramatic penalty shoot out ended 7-6 to Holyhead. Parry saved two spot kicks for the hosts.
