Derby's Under-21s In The Senior Cup...
Derby's Under-21s have not been short of drama in their 2022/23 Derbyshire Senior Cup campaign.
Pat Lyons' side were 4-0 winners at Graham Street Prims in the Third Round to get the ball rolling on what was a stress-free An early goal from defender Rhys Brailsford put the Rams in the
driving seat, while Jake Rooney, George Nunn and Lennon
Wheeldon added further second half strikes to seal a comfortable
victory.
A chaotic 5-5 draw at Alfreton Town followed in the Quarter Finals before the Rams eventually won on penalties. The Rams were 5-2 down with 88 minutes on the clock but two fine strikes from Kido Taylor-Hart, which saw him complete his hat-trick, and a header in the very last second of the game from Darren Robinson saw the tie go to penalties and five flawless spot-kicks from Lyons’ side followed to complete the most incredible turnaround.

second half strike from winger Carlos Richards ensured Lyons' side
progressed to the Final.
