refused to give the match up and scraped a goal back when a long range free-kick came back off the bar for a forward to smash the ball home. At 3-2 the match was still in


the balance, but Kings made sure of the result with a pen­ alty. awarded after Burgess had been bundled down. Dave Astin scored the goal and took K in g s A rm s in t o th e semi-finals.
