With the game heading for extra time, Joe ‘Mr CSKA’ Lee popped up with a memorable winner that the CSKA ranks will not forget for some time.
CSKA Youngboys were not far behind in the cupset stakes as they too dumped Division One opposition out, this time in the form of CR Eastern, 2-0.
Despite both sides finishing with 10, goals from Joe Reed and Jack Rawson saw them through with an impressive defensive display to boot.
England’s Hope remain on course for a potential treble after seeing off Clenchwarton Victory 3-1.

Ryan Brazil led the way with a double, supported by Sam Moses, Kensey Carter and Ricky Melton.
Adam Key scored the consolation for Macmillan.
