St Blazey
Tiverton Town
St Blazey led for the vast majority of the contest after taking a first-half goal into the break, and for long spells looked capable of pulling off the cup upset against higher-ranked opposition. But Tiverton Town, drawing on their superior league position and squad depth, found another gear late on, with Louie Slough levelling in the 77th minute before Asa Hall completed the turnaround eight minutes later. The visitors' composure under pressure and ability to find breakthroughs late in games proved decisive, while St Blazey will rue not adding a second goal to protect their lead when they were on top. It's a cruel exit for the home side, who pushed a big-name opponent all the way before falling agonisingly short in the closing stages.
