Shaftesbury knocked out Combined Counties League Premier South leaders Badshot Lea in the second qualifying round of the FA Vase on penalties with the scoreline 1-1 in 90 minutes.

The ‘Baggies’ had won every game this season, so even with three wins on the bounce, Luke Middlewick’s team faced a difficult afternoon at Westfield Lane, Wrecclesham.
After an even first half, the home side took the lead in the 56th minute with Dean Rule finishing a good move when he curved the ball round Konrad Symaniak. But Badshot Lea failed to turn up the heat after that and Luke Burbidge created space and scored a 77th minute leveller.

Shaftesbury put away all five penalties with Adwell Chipangura coolly slotting the last one home to put the Rockies through.
The match followed a 3-2 win at Laverstock and Ford when Sam Lanahan’s fine hat-trick saw off the Bulldogs at The Dell in the Wessex League Premier. Archie Lovegrove headed Laverstock level and they replied late on when Jacob Rawkins forced home a late consolation.
