Curzon Ashton 1 Aston Villa 2

A really competitive match was witnessed by a crowd of some 100 or so people (and they even had to pay - £2.00!!!) Unfortunately for Curzon it was not the right result and a strong Villa side eventually won out, although the result could have been so different had either of the two Curzon efforts that hit the post gone in.

Villa started the stronger and it was a very jittery Curzon defence that conceded a scrappy goal after just 11 minutes. Villa were in control for much of the half but Curzon gradually got back into the game and deservedly equalised just before half-time through Nikki Mcleod.

The second half followed much the same pattern as the first with Villa retaking the lead after an hour through Dani Petrovic's thudding header. Curzon hit the post just before the end but it was destined to be Villa's day - and they march onto a quarter final tie with Premier League Chelsea next Sunday.
