REPORT | Quorn 1-1 Carlton Town

Quorn held off a determined Carlton Town to earn a replay in Nottinghamshire on Tuesday evening. The Leicestershire side had looked the better team in a first half that saw plenty of chances at either end, the pick of the bunch saw a tremendous strike from Tyrell Shannon-Lewis open the scoring in the 14th minute after good work from a dangerous Tyree Wilson on the right.

The match turned early in the second half when Wilson suffered a, serious looking, knee injury, and was stretchered off. From that point on Carlton Town took total control of the match and could have equalised in the 66th minute when they won a penalty. Khyle Sargent took the spot kick and went low to Charlie Woods’ right, but the former Northampton Town ‘keeper made a superb save to maintain the lead for Quorn.

Wave after wave of attacks from The Millers saw them receive their just reward in the 85th minute when substitute Musa Ndaw Jawarra bundled home the equaliser. Both sides had chances to win it at the death, Paddy Webb fired wide under pressure but deserves credit for not going down under a rash challenge. Quorn will be relived with the draw and the chance to go again in midweek.
