Town through to last four
NRG Gym Kent County League
Bill Briffit’s extra-time goal saw Lydd Town Reserves to a 3-2 win at Premier Division Tudor Sports and complete the last four line-up in the Bill Manklow Inter-Regional Cup.
Town came from behind twice at Oxford Road in Sidcup through Frankie Steer and Rhys Morrison’s late penalty which took the tie into an extra half-hour.
Midfielder Briffit settled the tie, heading home from a corner five minutes from the end.
Lydd are now at home to East Kent College, while Erith 147 Sports meet Faversham Strike Force in the other semi-final.
Rolvenden dropped to fourth in Division 2
