Jon Beattie gave The Eastenders a deserved half-time lead but Town leveled in the second half. Both sides had chances to win the game before Filey were presented a golden opportunity just five minutes from time, via the award of what United felt was a harsh penalty. Justice was therefore seen to be done when Kevin Appleyard made the save.
Unfortunately, lack of fresh legs bit hard in extra-time and after Filey scored early to make it 2-1, the Eastenders’ need to chase the game allowed their hosts the freedom to go on and score three more and give the tie a wholly unrepresentative scoreline.
