A YOUTHFUL Taunton side, fielding 10 changes from their FA Cup draw against Barrow on Sunday, scraped through this tough Somerset Premier Cup tie at Odd Down on Tuesday night.
Craig Veal, Craig Duff and 16-year-old Rhys Ford were on target in normal time but Odd Down hit back to equalise in this pulsating tie.
Another 16-year-old, Tom Stone, also 16, put Taunton into the lead in extra time but, just as it looked as if the tie looked had been settled, Odd Down sent the game into penalties with four minutes remaining.
Taunton’s held their nerve youngsters held their nerve to go through 5-4 into the quarter-final.
