Edgehill keeper Martin Cappleman was called into action soon after with a full length dive to deny Rovers.

The young, fit away team kept pushing for an equaliser but right on half-time Edgehill doubled their lead.

Logan won a header 20 yards out and winger Josh Fergus ran onto the flick on and fired home with an excellent finish.

Second half and the away team took the game to Edgehill.

Keeper Cappleman again pulled off a save which was heading for the top corner.

Carperby ended the game with nine men, ref Jordan Banks dismissed their hard working midfielder Aiden Simpson for two yellows and late on the sub Tom Barley shouted abuse at sub Lewis Taylor which saw him take an early bath.

After an hour 2-0 became 3-0, again Logan was involved. He picked out the excellent run from Joel Ramm who lobbed the keeper from 35 yards. Great goal.

Carperby got a deserved goal late on with a scuffed shot by Sam

Lambert, after a pass from Michael Dent, going under the keeper Cappleman.

There were fine performances from Ramm, Logan and Fergus but man of the match went to tower of strength Ted 'Giraffe' Edwards.

Newlands Park bowed out of the cup with a 4-2 home loss against Dringhouses Reserves.

Newlands took the lead through Dan Freer, after a great ball from Chrissy Macauley. but the visitors netted twice to take the lead before Park equalised just before half-time through sub Terry Day’s free-kick.

After the break Dringhouses scored a couple more goals to defeat a below-par Newlands, whose man of the match was left-back Matt Stanley.

Newlands will look to bounce back at Edgehill this coming Saturday in the league.
