The Wood smelt blood after a brief pause to refresh, and began to put the pressure on in their pursuit of an equaliser. And the Wood stopper would prove to be the hero as he kept his side in it with a wonderful save at the death. However, Stanley were able to deal with each of Williams’ deliveries, meaning the Wood’s FA Cup journey had come to an end. This forced Savin into action immediately, with the Stanley stopper pushing Lee Ndlovu’s effort wide before the referee signalled for full time, meaning Extra Time would be required to decide the winner. Another half chance fell to Whalley with eight minutes to go when Savin played a low free kick straight to the forward, who cut inside and fired an effort goalward that Ashmore was behind. Action was certainly lacking as neither side was able to gain a foothold, and chances dried up for much of the first half.
