Shrewsbury Town fight back to stun rivals Shifnal in cup semi-final - women's football round-up
Shrewsbury Town came from 2-0 down to beat Shropshire rivals Shifnal Town and reach the final of the Tom Farmer Challenge Cup.
Shrews trailed to goals from Tayler Davies and Maisie-Mae Docherty with 10 minutes of their county cup semi-final remaining.
However, half-time substitute Katie Doster marked her return from injury by hauling her side back into it before Maddie Jones drilled home a low stoppage-time free-kick to send the match into extra-time.
There were no further goals, sending the match to penalties, and one Shifnal effort off the crossbar allowed Doster to convert the winning spot-kick.
On reaching the final, head coach Darel Tidman-Poole said: "It's an occasion, it's an experience, an opportunity to make memories.
"Sometimes from a coaching perspective, it's a bit of a headache, but we'll give it our best, enjoy the experience and you never know, it might be a piece of silverware we can enjoy.
"We will remain focused and make sure we are focused on the next job, which is next week."
In the final they will face AFC Telford United, after the Bucks won 3-1 at Ellesmere Rangers thanks to goals from Olivia Bellamy, Lottie Williams and Lauren Jones.
