Gosport Borough and AFC Newbury slugged themselves to a virtual standstill in the Wessex League Cup quarter-final.

Action went on long into the night with Gosport eventually winning an epic battle 10-9 on penalties.

"It was the longest game in the history of football," joked Borough's experienced midfielder Darren Robson. "But we're in three cup semi-finals now, so we're off to get our suits fitted!"

Neil Scammell had fired Gosport into a spectacular first-half lead, spotting the keeper off his line and deftly lifting the ball over him from 35 yards.

Newbury hit back with a near-post header, leaving the score 1-1 after extra time.
