Roscoes led after just five minutes, prolific frontman Raul Aldea latching onto a through-ball before calmly slotting in.

Roscoes were soon back in front, Liam Rowley playing Lee Sutton in down the right flank, and he managed to hold off his marker before finding the bottom corner.

The top-flight said felt they should've been awarded a penalty shortly after that when Carl Hepples was brought down, but a free-kick was awarded instead.

Tavern levelled up again just before half-time when Matty Rowley's attempted tackle only teed up Tavern's Duncan McDermott to score and send the sides in level at the break.

The winner came in the second half after a neat team move involving Aldea and Matty Rowley before man of the match Andy Noon applied the finishing touch to send Roscoes through.

Wayne Shaw was man of the match for Tavern.
