Hakin United agonisingly lost 3-4 against Holywell Town in the quarter final of the FAW Trophy played at the Obs.
Nicky Woodrow scored a powerful header that gave the Vikings the lead, the Wellmen fought back with goals by Phil Lloyd and Matt Harvey, the Vikings were awarded a contentious penalty for hand ball, Woodrow sent the keeper the wrong way to level matters at 2-2 at half time.
Midway through the second period Justin ‘Skinny’ Harding scored a brilliant diving header that gave the Vikings a 3-2 lead, the north Wales outfit who play two tiers above their Pembrokeshire rivals were reduced to ten-men as Sam Jones was sent off.
But the visitors rallied and equalised eight minutes from normal time through Jack Darcy, then smack on full time, Lloyd bagged his second goal of the tie, but more importantly it was the winner that cruelly dumped the unlucky Vikings out of the cup.
