A fine gesture by the Concord chairman to pay for a couple of Royston supporters` coaches after the disappointment of last Saturday`s late postponement meant there was a good crowd at the Aspect Arena.

And they saw the Beachboys take a 35th minute lead through Joel Nouble.

But shortly afterwards, the Crows had a great chance to equalise when Adam Murray was tugged back and a penalty was awarded.

However, home `keeper Chris Haigh pulled off a fine save to deny Matt Bateman from 12 yards.

Nine minutes after half-time though, Royston were level when Josh Castiglione set up Luke Warner-Eley to beat Haigh with a fine low shot.

Haigh was forced into a couple more saves to keep the scoreline level and it finished 1-1 at the end of normal time, so it was extra-time.

The crowd only had to wait 3 minutes into extra-time for the next goal to arrive – and it came from Rangers` sub Decarrey Sheriff with his first touch of the ball.

Concord held firm for the remainder of the 120 minutes to make it through to the semi-finals where they will meet another Southern League giantkiller, Division One Central outfit Halesowen Town.

The journey is over for Royston, who can now concentrate all their efforts on a promotion bid, but they have been a real credit to the league with a fantastic run in the competition.
