During FCs strong run in the league and with 10 changes to the side the Reds put in an excellent shift, but were pipped by the odd goal in seven. Dean Stott started and finished this Doodson Cup fourth-round tie and his team-mates had plenty of chances in between but it just didn't work out on the night. Two goals from Shaun Tuck and one each from Michael Powell and Daniel Andrews, were enough to send Witton through. Rhodri Giggs supplied United's middle goal and on another night he should have finished with a hat-trick, but it wasn't to be and FC are now left to concentrate on the promotion push.
