March to the Arch 3: Stevenage earn trip back to White Hart Lane.

Sports Pulse followed Spurs to the County of Opportunity and headed North to Stevenage.

Stevenage raised their game and held the mighty Spurs to a 0-0 draw, with the victors of the replay entertaining Bolton in the quarter final.

Spurs found it difficult to perform, blaming an uneven playing surface. The Stevenage players caused a number of problems. Both Luke Freeman and Laurie Wilson causing problems on the flanks. The left boot of Josh Bryom coming close on a number of occasions.

The big lads of Beardsley and Charles caused problems and continued with the introduction of May and Cowan late in the 2nd half.

Spurs did have a goal disallowed for offside before the hour. Saha slotted home, only for the ball to brush Parker in an offside position.

Earlier Stoke triumphed in a tricky tie at Crawley, ESPN apologising for sound problems, harsh on Craig Burley. ITV had their own audio issues - Jim Beglin, but then Roy Keane lightened the mood with a few jokes and a smile.
