The game began well when Farsley took an early lead through skipper Mark Jackson, who hooked home from a corner when his marker slipped.

"I thought we were the better side," said boss John Deacey. "Rory Prendergast and Roy Stamer both played well and if we'd have taken our chances, the game should have been dead and buried."

James Knowles saw a shot blocked and Steve Torpey almost created a second with a header across the face of goal, but Ged Murphy cleared bravely for the hosts.

After the break, Prendergast crossed low for Torpey, but the ball was just too far ahead of the Celts forward and Droylsden cleared.

Then ten minutes into the second half Conall Murtagh forced Celts keeper Tom Morgan into a save from a free kick after he had been fouled and Morgan had to push Liam Murray's header onto the bar from the resultant corner.

However, he injured his shoulder when he landed and had to be replaced by Scott Gardner, with Scott McNiven taking over between the sticks.

But Celtic had their chance of a second when Prendergast beat Jamie McGuire to tee up Lee Tuck, but he took his shot at the first attempt and it went wide from seven yards as he was off balance.

Deacey knew this was a crucial miss, adding: "Lee's young and he will learn – you don't get many chances at this level and when you do you have to take them."

Moments later, Droylsden struck level when Steve Halford headed home from a corner, which Deacey believed a regular keeper would have stopped.

On 71 minutes, Droylsden introduced leading scorer Jody Banim from the bench, and they at last started to look more threatening in attack.

Banim then beat three defenders before curling an effort just wide of the net, but Prendergast almost snatched victory for Celtic in added time, however, his firsttime volley at the far post was brilliantly
saved by home keeper Paul Phillips.

Banim and Danny Ellis both went close in the first period of extra-time, and Dominic Krief could have restored the Celts' lead in the second, but his volley flew over from Knowles' cross.

Droylsden struck the winner with seven minutes remaining, McNiven failing to hold on to a shot-cum-cross from Banim and Ellis converted the loose ball.

Prendergast shot wide with a free kick late on, but it was the Manchester side who progressed to face Burton.
