Derbyshire FA Senior Cup Quarter Final
Chesterfield XI 3-3 Derby County XI
(Derby win 4-1 on penalties)

Derby County ended Chesterfield's hope of Senior Cup glory this season by defeating the Blues on penalties in a pulsating match at the B2net.

Chesterfield were handed a two goal advantage midway through the second half - however the Championship side hit back with two goals in two minutes in the final seven minutes of the match to take the game to extra time.

Derby then held the advantage when Tomasz Cywka scored from the spot, before Jordan Burrow equalised a minute later. Derby were ruthless in their spot kick taking by scoring all their four whilst the Spireites scored only one out of their three.

Derby came to the B2net for this year's Derbyshire FA Senior Challenge Cup Quarter-Final on the back of a 14-1 thrashing of Shirebrook Town in the previous round.

Chesterfield meanwhile had disposed of Mickleover Sports 4-0 in December.

Both sides had reserve players on view, but both sides equally had the same philosophy of passing the ball.

It was Derby who maintained the stronger grip though which was pretty much cast throughout the match.

Chesterfield took a shock lead on the 14th minute mark when a through ball from young right back Jordan Edridge saw Deane Smalley run on into space and slot the ball past Saul Deeney in goal for the Rams.

Shane Redmond was called on into action by the presence of Cywka who was being a real handful for the Spireites defence.

Chesterfield were again being put under pressure at the start of the second half when Redmond pulled off a fantastic save from a Steven Davies effort.

Jamie Lowry came close when his header from a Tendayi Darikwa cross smacked against the bar.

The Spireites doubled their lead when Jordan Bowery was played through by Scott Griffiths. Bowery had the opportunity to pass to Darikwa but opted to slot the ball past Deeney himself.

Derby upped tempo and created more chances but the Chesterfield held firm, an ambitious cross by substitute Aaron Cole gave the Rams a lifeline as Redmond misjudged the ball and it flew into the back of the net. Within seconds Derby had levelled thanks to a cross by Cywka and Hendrick drilled home.

Extra Time loomed and Derby took the lead thanks to a fortunate penalty, Matt Needham was adjudged to have brought Cywka down and the Polish striker slotted home.

Within a minute though Jordan Burrow had equalised for the Spireites, a mix up at the back had presented the youth team player with his chance to score and he did comfortably.

The match went to penalties and Derby eased through thanks to two fine saves from Saul Deeney. Darikwa scored for the Spireites but it was left to former Mansfield player Jake Buxton to smash home the winning spot kick and Derby progress through to the Semi Finals.
