Hucknall are the sole Conference North survivors in Trophy Qtrs

March 4, 2005—

With Altrincham going out of the Trophy at the hands of Conference North runaway leaders Grays Athletic it's now left to Hucknall Town to carry the flag for the Conference North teams into the Quarter-Finals of the competition.

The Robins were 2-0 down at half-time to Grays, pulled a goal-back on the hour-mark only to see the gap restored mid-way through the second-half. Despite reducing the deficit on 78 minutes courtesy of a penalty, Grays made sure of victory with a fourth goal six minutes from time to eventually win 4-2.

Hucknall Town went through courtesy of a narrow 1-0 victory over currently second-placed Conference South outfit Cambridge City with a goal on 50 minutes by Winder proving to be all that eventually separated the two teams.

In the Quarter-Finals of the Trophy Hucknall Town have been drawn away to Conference National outfit Hereford Utd, ties to be played on Saturday, 12 March 2005.
