CHIRK AAA'S JD Welsh Cup dreams ended for another season with a 5-3 penalty shoot-out at defeat at home to Porthmadog on Saturday.
The Colliers had one foot in the third round and led for much of the game courtesy of Spencer Parrish's 16th minute strike only for Nathan Williams to rescue the visitors with a late equaliser.
Goalkeeper Alex Ward-Jones was the hero in the resulting shoot-out with his save to deny Rhys Edwards ensuring Porthmadog victory.
