Crewe Through In Youth Cup

Crewe will be playing Sunderland away in this years FA Youth Cup 5th Round. It all comes after a hard worked win at Cirencester Town last night. 15 year old Nathanial Kerr put the Alex ahead when he volleyed home a corner on the 20th minute.

The impressive Cirencester found a way back just 10 minutes later from the penalty spot. Paul Bignot, brother of former Alex full back Marcus Bignot, had been ajudged to have 'impeded' Zebrowski and so it allowed Ciren's Slattery to equalise.

Crewe continued to play impressive football but a couple of excellent stops from the Cirencester keeper denied highly rated Kyle Wilson to put Crewe in the lead.

After extra time it went to penalties... after 5 penalties each it was 5-5. The rhythm was broken when Cirens Tom Etheridge smashed over the bar, leaving Crewe's Chris White to roll the winning ball home.

Cirencester Town 1-1 Crewe Alex.
Crewe win 5-6 on penalties.
