But they found life against Wickham Dynamos much harder than when they dished out a 10-2 league hammering earlier in the campaign.

This time they had to make do with a 3-1 victory that booked a last four tie against Carberry on April 8.

Burrfields entered the tie without strikers Laurie McIntosh and Jack Palmer. The former was serving a two-match suspension and the latter wasn’t risked by boss Brian Kirby having only just returned from a lengthy travelling trip.

The deadlock was broken late in the first half when Jordan Shuttleworth, playing as a false number nine, was brought down in the box. He got up to convert the subsequent penalty.

Harrison Holbrook, playing in a more attacking role, pinched Burrfields’ second after the restart following a fumble by Wickham in the penalty area.

Wickham set up a tense final by pulling a goal back, with Burrfieds’ third coming late on through sub Jack Rafter.
