WHARFEDALE & District FA Challenge Cup holders Baildon Trinity Athletic bowed out after a 5-0 home defeat against Ilkley Town - after extra-time!
Ilkley created the first real chance of the match but Baildon goalkeeper Dave Naylor quickly came off his line to deny a goal.
Baildon had to endure a series of corners, and centre back Graham Carney was outstanding in clearing most of the attacks.
Trinity had a chance late on to steal the tie from a corner, but Carney's header was smothered in the penalty box.
With the tie heading towards extra-time, Baildon's Lee Rands made a rash challenge inside the penalty area but Naylor dived low to his right to superbly turn Lee Spires' spot-kick round the post.
Within the first minute of extra-time, Ilkley finally found their way through a dogged Trinity defence via Toby Harris.
With Baildon pushing for an equaliser and their legs tiring, Ilkley found more space, and the floodgates opened, with Spires (97, 100 and 113) and Harris (112) netting.
Baildon can hold their heads up high, however, after a strong showing against a very good Ilkley team, who are two divisions above them.
