Marown fell agonisingly short of causing a major upset in the quarter-finals of this season’s Craig’s Heartstrong Hospital Cup on Sunday evening.

The JCK Division Two outfit found themselves 2-0 up away at Canada Life Premier League heavyweights Laxey and on course to stun the Miners.

However, the Glen Road side pulled off the Great Escape in the dying minutes as Dave Corlett grabbed an equaliser before Matty Wilkinson won it right at the death.

Rushen United also booked their place in the last four in dramatic fashion, holding their nerve to edge past Corinthians on penalties at Ballafletcher.

The Spaniards raced into a two-goal lead thanks to Mike Williams’ early header and captain Aaron Hawley’s close-range effort.

However, the Whites came roaring back and pulled themselves level thanks to an own goal and Sean Doyle’s penalty.

It remained 2-2 until very late in the game when a Stephen Whitley header five minutes from time looked to have won it for Corinthians, only for Matty Cain to score a 90th-minute equaliser and force extra-time.

The sides couldn’t be separated in the additional 30 minutes and so the match proceeded to the dreaded lottery of a penalty shootout where Rushen held their nerve, Liam Cowin netting the decisive spot-kick to send his side through.

The Spaniards’ Old Firm rivals Peel safely sealed their place in the semis by brushing aside Colby 7-1 at the Station Fields.

Matty Woods and Billy Kennaugh led the way for the westerners with a brace apiece and they were joined on the scoresheet by Tom Wood, Daniel Lace and Adam Cregeen.

St George’s remain on course for an historic third Grand Slam after comfortably seeing off the challenge of Douglas Athletic at Springfield Road.

Having beaten the Pinks 5-1 in the FA Cup just a few weeks ago, Geordies made no mistake again as the romped to a 6-0 victory.

Calum Morrissey was the star of the show for Saints as he grabbed a hat-trick, while Furo Davies scored a brace and Joey Morling netted the other.
