Ravan Constable saved two penalties in the shootout as Potters Bar Town knocked Bath City out of the Emirates FA Cup in a third qualifying round replay.
After a goalless draw at the weekend, a second 90 minutes and extra time couldn’t separate the teams as Michael Murray cancelled out Billy Murphy’s early goal for City.
Both teams missed one of their first four penalties in the shootout and in sudden death, Joe Bennett held his nerve for Town before Chas Hemmings’ effort was saved.
