A YOUNG Tranmere reserves side earned a place in the semi-finals of the Liverpool Senior Cup – but only after being taken into extra time by non-League neighbours Cammell Laird at The Kirklands.
Lairds took the lead through Paul Cliff’s Šshot from an angle but Max Power fired home the equaliser from a well-worked corner routine on 37 minutes.
Rovers survived a couple of narrow escapes in the second half before Cole Stockton gave them a 74th-minute lead.
Laird levelled the scores eight minutes from time through Chey Dysart.
However, Shaun Garnett’s side took control in extra-time. Ellis Appleton fired home at the far post then Stockton found the roof of the net with a powerful effort.
TRANMERE: Coughlin, Danny Holmes, Kay, Vaulks, Bakayogo (Joyce), Wainwright (Lynskey), Power, Kirby, Appleton, Conchie (Jordan Holmes), Stockton.
