Five minutes after the interval and TNS extended their lead when Scott Quigley slotted home from inside the box.

Full credit to the Bluebirds they didn’t throw in the towel and were awarded a penalty five minutes later that Luke Borrelli buried.

Eleven minutes from the end Draper added his second goal of the tie and to seal victory and place in the last four of the competition.
