Holywell 2, McQuiston Rec. 1
Holywell had to thank Sammy Melly for not falling behind early in this tie. The keeper pulled of a brilliant double-save, blocking a point-blank shot following a corner kick and parrying the second effort.
The Antrim team settled and snatched the lead 10 minutes later. Ryan Canning took a free-kick in midfield and floated the ball into the penalty area , where full-back John Scott dived full-length to head the ball into the net.
McQuiston pushed for an equaliser and it arrived in the 30th minute from a free-kick.
Holywell resumed on the offensive, and midway through the second half they netted the winner. Canning began the move, feeding Derek Dempster, whose inch-perfect cross from the right-wing was headed home by an unmarked John Majury at the back post.
The visitors applied heavy pressure, but were foiled by a trio of super saves from Melly.
Holywell finished strongly, and Ryan McAuly and Paul Lees had efforts saved, while Canning drove a shot against the crossbar.
