It's been a while since Garforth went into a match with their West Yorkshire neighbours as underdogs, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge since these teams last met.

Albion had just been awarded Evostik North team of the month and were in the heady heights of the play-off places.
The only change to the starting eleven from Saturdays' win over Armthorpe was Spencer Lund in to replace Ashley Preece.

Last years' county cup runners up Garforth have a good pedigree in this competition and despite the difference in league positions, Adie Costellos' men were expected by supporters to take the fight to Ossett.
And that's just how they started. Sinmi Oyenbajis' skill and determination produced an early chance that Brett Souter did well to tip behind for a corner.

Even though Albion took an eleventh minute lead when Connor Brunt tapped in a Rob Bordman, the visitors continued their high tempo and were quickest into the challenge, good in possession and carved out enough chances to be level at half time, the best of which fell to the feet of Danny Harris, but once again Souter was quick to block the danger.

When ex Miner Connor Bower showed a clean pair of heels for Albions' second on fifty minutes, the pattern of the game changed.
As Garforth tried to claw back the deficit, Ossett were able to exploit the spaces left and, but for a few last-ditch challenges would have increased the lead. Bordman saw a late free-kick canon of the post as the Unicorns trotted into the semi-finals.

Overall, Garforth gave a good account of themselves and might wonder what might have been had they capitalised while on top.
