Allenton went into the last 16 round of the Sidney Bedlow and faced a Francis side that sported the ex-liverpool striker Dave Speedie.
Allenton welcomed the return of Paul, Jon Redmond and Bobby and the 2 defenders were straight back into action.
A bright start saw the home side take an early lead, a slide-rule pass from Ryan to Mick who cheekily rounded the keeper to put Allenton ahead.
Allenton doubled their lead within the 1st 20 minutes, great work down the left side involving Barry and culminating in Andrew placing a shot beyond the Francis keeper.
2-0 at half time and with the back 5 five working well and the midfield duo of Billy and Andre stopping Francis from advancing, Allenton looked comfortable in the 2nd half.
The ref adjudged a penalty for Francis after a push from Jonny but Kevin sprung to his right and saved well and the rebound was cleared.
Tommy used all three subs, with Bobby, Thomas and Adam coming into the fray in place of Mick, Ryan and Andrew.
A great result which puts Allenton into the quarter final and a home tie against Stedfast 3rds.
