How did it play out? Have a read below…

It was a good early start for the Moles as Binfield worked the ball out wide. A cross was whipped in but no one could get on the end of it.

Binfield continued to shoe that they were the brighter of the two, they sent in a few more corners, however it came to nothing and Rylands cleared them away. 

Rylands think they’re ahead but the linesman indicates offside. 22 minutes played and it was still 0-0.

Warrington Rylands took the lead as Elliott Nevitt just caught the volley and the ball went in the back of the net in the 27th minute.

Both sides were proving quick on the counter-attack as the game is end to end in the first 30.

Stephen Milne took a slip under his own feet with the ball and Binfield capitalise to take back possession from Rylands.

Ferdinand takes a shot at goal for Binfield, but he was just off balance so it sailed over the crossbar.

Minutes later, Ferdi headed it home to level Binfield just before the break, however not before Warrington could go and re-take the lead.

A Rylands player was brought down in the box and the penalty is converted making it Warrington Ryland 2-1 up going into the break.

The second half began with calls of another penalty in the Rylands box but the referee turned it down.

Sean Moore was there to take a free kick for Binfield as they looked to try and get themselves another equaliser, however it was denied by the Rylands wall.

Another goal was scored in the tie, this time on the 59th minute. And it’s hat-trick hero Elliott Nevitt who heads home to score again. 3-1 Warrington, a mountain to climb for Binfield by this point.

Yet another goal in the game and it came from Ferdinand who was on hand again to continue making it a tense final, especially for those in the stands.

After a keeper made a save, the rebound flew to Maloney who flicked the ball to Ferdinand.

He nutmegged a Rylands defender on the volley to get one back for Binfield. 3-2 to Warrington with just under 30 minutes left.
