Goals from Louis Steadman and Danny Lambe-Hyner fired Moulton Harrox into the last four of the Lincs Junior Cup on Saturday as they defeated a strong Appleby Frodingham side 2-0 at Broad Lane.
After a goalless first half, a long range free-kick from Louis Steadman gave ChromaSport PDFL Premier Division leaders Moulton a 1-0 lead early in the second half.
Lambe-Hyner, on as a sub, then sealed the victory when he calmly rounded the away keeper before slotting into the empty net.
Harrox’s reward is a home tie against Lincoln Moorlands Railway in the semi-finals on February 3rd (1.30pm).

- Long Sutton Athletic moved to within a point of PDFL Division One leaders Moulton Harrox Reserves with a big 4-0 victory at Uppingham Town.
A double from Matty Oliver, plus strikes from Davy Shepherd and Billy Oliver, got the job done for the Magpies – who handed a debut to former Peterborough Northern Star skipper Wilkins Makate.
With a home game against Harrox Reserves in the Chairman Championship Shield next this Saturday, boss Omar Joof is looking forward to seeing what his side can achieve in 2018.
“I expected a slow start,” admitted Joof. “But in the second half we picked up and took control of the game.
“With the leadership of Billy Oliver we went on to play well and won the game comfortably. I’m very pleased with the win and the second half performance and some fantastic football was played in the second half.
