Southgate 2
Gunnislake 2
(aet, Southgate won on penalties)
SIMON Wakeham's throughball sent Joe Pulley away for the first real opening on 20 minutes, only for the home keeper to come out and save well.
Shortly afterwards Andy Woodward saved a good Southgate effort.
However, although both sides were looking to create chances they were few and far between before half time.
The only score of the half followed a good Pulley cross which allowed Lee Underwood to head Gunnislake in to a 35th minute lead.
Southgate were much the better of the two sides in the opening 20 minutes of the second half.
But resilient defending, and some good fortune, saw to it that the home side only scored once in this period.
Gunnislake regained the lead midway through the half. Mark Southcott's right wing centre was not dealt with by the home keeper and Neil Kinger was on hand to take advantage.
Southgate once again came in search of an equaliser and a well taken goal ensured they got it and took the game in to extra time.
Extra time passed with little goal action, and so penalties were required.
Pulley scored Gunnislake's first and with Woodward saving well each of Southgate's first two penalties the visitors were in a good position.
However, Gunnislake proceeded to miss their next three kicks.
With the score at 2-1 Mark Warwick scored the visitors fifth penalty but with Southgate doing likewise the home side went through.

Pensilva 11
Whitleigh 3
In recent matches Pensilva have had goals scored against them very early on, this time the tables were turned.
From the kick off Pensilva surged forward and Kane Wilson promptly put the ball into the Whitleigh net. Not to be outdone, Whitleigh replied with a well taken goal within five minutes.
Unfortunately for Whitleigh it was Pensilva who settled first after the initial onslaught. Their confidence showed when they were awarded a free kick just outside the penalty area, Pete Hoare duly stepping up to score.
The rest of the first half was played mostly in the Whitleigh area with further goals coming from Jack Bartlett (2) and a second for Kane Wilson.
The second half looked as if it would continue much the same, with Pensilva taking first strike, again through Kane Wilson. But Whitleigh were far from down and out and struck back in quick succession with two goals.
Playing some attractive football, Pensilva reasserted themselves with goals from Davie Soanes, a fourth from Kane Wilson and another from a free kick this time by Ashley Flemming. Not to be outdone Jack Bartlett completed his hat trick and Kane Wilson scored his fifth.
Man of the match: Richard Day; Visitors' man of the match: Jack Bartlett.
