A gritty performance in the last half-hour of ordinary time and the resulting extra-time saw Albion Sports through to the FA Sunday Cup quarter-finals after a 4-2 win over Swindon visitors Greyhound FC.

Albion almost got off to a flier when James Nestor drove wide but Greyhound showed why they had averaged six goals a game in the competition and the home side had to survive a sticky ten minutes.

However, left-winger Roy Stamer, who Greyhound struggled to contain throughout, turned his man and Nestor leapt to head into the roof of the net after 15 minutes.

Soon after, Nestor rounded the keeper and, with a simple chance to double the lead, somehow put his shot wide.

Albion's opponents made them pay for the glaring miss and, after keeper Aaron Bryan had made the save of the game, Greyhound's left winger stole in at the far post for the equaliser.

A free-kick from the edge of the box saw Greyhound take a 2-1 lead but they failed to build on their advantage as Albion, with Steve Smith and Jason Ryan bottling up the midfield, grew stronger in the last 30 minutes of normal time.

Albion brought on substitute Taj Singh, hero of so many Albion triumphs over the years, and it was Singh's flick-on that saw Nestor brought down for a penalty.

Nestor equalised from the spot to send the game into extra-time and Singh became Albion's hero again when he lashed a loose ball into the net to restore the home side's lead.

Nestor made the game safe when he picked up a long ball and cleverly lobbed the Greyhound keeper to make it 4-2.

Albion face a trip to Reading Irish, conquerors of of 2003 winnersDuke of York, in the next round.

The Bradford Sunday Alliance have representatives in all four quarter-finals of the Sunday County Cup after Silsden, who are now away to Redoubt (Wakefield), won their outstanding fourth-round tie 3-2 at Fforde Grene.

The Leeds side went in front from a 50th-minute penalty before striker Adam Whiteoak struck twice to put Silsden in charge.

The tie looked over until Fforde, Leeds' last representatives in the competition, equalised on 86 minutes.

Extra-time looked a strong possibility until Silsden went to the other end and John Chapman put away the winner.

In a Sunday Alliance league programme decimated by the overnight frost, birthday boy Chris Wood scored twice as West Bowling beat Chellow 2-0 in the battle between the two First Division promotion hopefuls.

Playing for the first time for five weeks, Bowling had to defend stoically as Chellow had the best of the play but were unable to turn their advantage into goals.

Wood hit his first goal from 25 yards to give Bowling the first-half lead and after Chellow had hit the woodwork, Wood took the ball round the keeper

for his second with ten minutes remaining.
