PADIHAM went out of this season's League Challenge Trophy after an epic encounter with Cumbrian side Holker OB at the Arbories.

Holker led 2-0 at the interval with goals by Dale Cleece, but they were then reduced to 10 men and James Gill pulled a goal back in the 82nd minute before Ian Whittaker made it 2-2 to send the tie into extra time.

Just before the end of normal time however, Padiham had Craig Wilkinson dismissed for a second cautionable offence to leave both sides with 10 men.

Holker regained the lead three minutes in when Cleece who completed his hat-trick but Gill levelled the scores at 3-3 in the 110th minute.

But as the Storks pushed for a winner, a glancing header by Rob Bruce gave Holker victory.
