On Tuesday evening Kirkley & Pakefield hosted Wroxham Reserves in the 3rd Round of the Thurlow Nunn League Challenge Cup after a goalless first half, the ‘Royals’ took the lead on 54 minutes through an own goal. Wroxham equalised from the penalty spot on 75 minutes although there was late pressure from the home team a winner could not be forced. The game then went to penalty kicks after three kicks each the ‘Royals’ lead 3-2 but the following spot kicks saw Wroxham score twice with the home team having both shots saved. So it was the ‘Yachtsmen’ who progressed to the next round 4-3 on penalties.
