Bolton Wanderers v Accrington Stanley
Stanley progressed to the quarter final stage of the LFA Senior Cup with a 3-2 victory over a youthful Bolton Wanderers.
Sean McConville netted his second hat trick of the season to set up a meeting with Preston North End.
Stanley took the lead with their first shot on target, Jimmy Ryan crossing in for McConville to slot home past Lainton. McConville doubled the lead moments later, curling a fantastic strike into the top corner.
Tom Eaves missed a header for Wanderers but the home side had few chances before the break.
Alex Cisak was replaced by Josh O'Connell in goal at the break. A flurry of three goals in ten minutes came after the hour mark.
Adam Blakeman hit a free kick from the halfway line, the effort beating everyone to settle in the bottom corner.
Stanley's two goal lead was restored soon after. Good pressure from Lindfield forced Lainton into a quick clearance. The keeper could only clear to McConville and the 21-year old chipped home to seal his hat trick.
Blakeman scored a fine 20 yard free kick soon after but it wasn't enough to deny the Reds a well earned 3-2 victory and a quarter final trip to Preston North End.
