​Heslerton Spiders U14s’ management team are dusting down their cup final suits as they beat Division 1 Strensall in a dramatic York FA Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out.

The away team opened the scoring before Dan Thompson levelled. Strensall again went ahead in the second half but Freddie Maw drew the sides level again. Strensall took the lead again and had looked to have secured victory but with three minutes to go a Dexter Penny free-kick hit the post and Aidey Stone was on hand to prod the ball home.

The tie went to penalties with Bobby Ellis the hero, saving twice to send Spiders into the final.
