Interest in the FA Sunday Cup is over for another season for Bradford Sunday Alliance League clubs after Albion Sports lost out in a penalty shoot-out to Northamptonshire visitors St Margaret's in Sunday's fourth round match at Apperley Bridge.
Albion crashed out 4-2 in sudden death after being locked at 3-3 after extra-time.
St Margaret's were 2-0 down after ten minutes. Albion hit them cold only 80
seconds into the game when Taj Singh's intended cross found the net.
Gary Shaw fed Stefan Zoll on the edge of the box to put Albion 2-0 up but Richard Bunting pulled a goal back before half-time after a series of quick passes.
Taj Singh made it 3-1 with a free-kick from the edge of the box but with Albion tiring Pete Robinson scored with 12 minutes to go and Steve Goodacre struck from the edge of the box in the final minute of normal time.
After their earlier giant-killing exploits in the Bradford & District FA Sunday Senior Cup, Quarry couldn't bridge the two-division gap against Queensbury.

Holme Wood Athletic are the sole non-Premier club through to the last four after they beat fellow Division One side Hare & Hounds 4-0 despite having a man sent off after 30 minutes.

Ben Cayhill scored first in the second period for Sycamores with team-mate Charlie White taking their tally to three. Harps player Wayne Brannan was next on target making the score 3-2 to Sycamores.
