Moulton march into last eight as Gosling sees red

Moulton Harrox are South Holland’s sole representatives in the quarter-finals of the Lincs FA Junior Cup after ousting rivals Pinchbeck United 2-0 on Saturday.

First-half goals from Joe Townsend (20) and Billy King (pen 30) were enough for hosts Harrox at Broad Lane, as they toasted their second success over Pinchbeck this season.

The clash was effectively over five minutes later when United striker Tom Gosling was sent off for two yellow cards.

Pinchbeck player/boss Ian Dunn did test Lee Kenealy with a second-half free kick, but Moulton never looked like throwing away their advantage – and their prize is a tough trip to Lincoln-based RM Imps in the last eight. That tie will be played on January 10.

Harrox: Kenealy, Coddington, Cairns, Patterson, Johnson, Watkin, Townsend, King, Groves, Bradbury, Grimwood. Subs: McKue, Wilson.

Pinchbeck: Doughty, Leggett, B Murrell, Brooks, Dunn, Maltby, Gardner, Price, Gosling, Abell, G Stainfield. Subs: Dickinson, Jucikas.
