Walsall 1 Swansea 1 (Swansea win 4-3 on penalties)

The Saddlers departed the Johnstone Paint Cup last night despite holding the current champions to a creditable 1-1 draw. The highlight of the game was a comeback goal for Darren Wrack and some flapping from ex-Saddlers keeper Andy Oakes.

For the record James Constable and Kris Taylor missed our first two penalties after Wrack’s injury time equaliser had levelled matters in normal time.

Not many Walsall fans will lose sleep over the early cup exit, allowing Richard Money’s men to concentrate on securing their position at the top of League 2.

Walsall; Ince, Pead, Gerrard, Roper, Fox, Wright (Wrack 53), Kinsella (Constable 73), Dann, Taylor, Sam, Bedeau (Demontagnac 62).
