LILYWHITES ADVANCE TO SEMI-FINALS

GAP made a lively start and after just three minutes Lee Kendall was at full stretch to keep out a free-kick from ex-Rhyl midfielder Ricky Evans.
Sharp drove across the face of goal before Lee Hunt was denied by the outstretched foot of Queens keeper Adam McGee from six yards.
Lee Phelan hit a left-foot cracker just over for the visitors, but play was brought back for a free-kick and that man Evans went very close again.
Finally, the deadlock ended on 35 minutes when a deep Michael White cross to the back post was headed in by Rhyl's spring-heeled Craig Jones who claimed his ninth goal of the season.
An acrobatic Mark Hobson effort found the net for the Wrexham area outfit just before the break but he was ruled to be in an offside position.
Kendall and McGee were both called into action early in the second stanza to deny Colin Quirk and Hunt respectively. Jones' centre to the far stick was met by Stones who was blocked off by McGee.
In the 57th minute Rhyl went 2-0 up when White won a crunching tackle against Shaun Williams and although his right foot stinger was kept out by McGee, Hunt snapped up the rebound to make it 21 goals this term.
McGee pushed another White rocket behind for a corner, but then against the run of play Queens pulled a goal back.
Kendall was caught in no man's land trying to deal with an Evans free-kick and Gareth Roberts finished at the far post.
Three minutes later, however, Hunt flicked on Gareth Wilson's defensive clearance, Sharp reached the ball first on the left, slipped his marker and scored with an absolute missile.
Rhyl were well on top but to their credit Queens never gave up and in the 92nd minute Eddie Maurice-Jones' close range hit was kept out by Kendall, but Evans' follow-up shot was adjudged to have been handled on the line by George Horan, who was promptly red-carded.
Evans put away the resulting penalty, but it was too late to force an equaliser and Rhyl advanced to the semi-finals.
RHYL: Kendall, Wilson (Garside 88), Graves (Roberts 79), Connolly, Horan, Ruffer, Jones, Stones, Hunt, Sharp (Cameron 88), White. Att: 353.
