and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The sides had drawn 1-1 in the initial tie on Saturday and the replay ended goalless before the Linnets kept their nerve to get bthrough extra time a man short after a red card and then go through 4-3 on spot kicks.
Tigers boss Craig Parry said: “I’m disappointed not to be in the next round.

“But I think performance-wise, what we have done over the two games has been exceptional.
“We’re motivated every game, and I don’t think last night's result will affect our motivation because we know our goal is always to do the best we can and try to reach our maximum potential over the course of the season.
“We’ve got an unbelievable squad with great togetherness within the changing room and we will be playing every game week by week, day by day, game by game to maximise our potential – and our potential is to achieve promotion this season.”

Hide AdKing’s Lynn started quickly as a brilliant pass from Freddie Sass to Dylan Crowe on the right flank set up a dangerous low cross that took a deflection which was narrowly kept out.
And Finlay Barnes wasted the follow-up, scuffing his shot high and wide from close range with the goal at his mercy.
Crowe then picked up the ball on the right and delivered a well-weighted pass to the onrushing McCammon, who drove into the box, but his effort fizzed just wide of the far post.
Worksop then had their first big chance of the game, with Paul Jones coming to the rescue with a fantastic save, denying Bramall after he got in behind the defence.

Hide AdKing’s Lynn were reduced to 10 men in the fifth minute of stoppage time in the second half as Ross Crane was given a second yellow for a late challenge, as the game went into extra-time.
Worksop started to pile on the pressure with the man advantage as Jones made another save to deny Liam Hughes from close range.
The Linnets still had chances, despite being a man down as Josh Coulson won the first contact from a free kick, but Greg Taylor was just too far back to tap it in at the back post.
But the two teams couldn’t be separated for the whole of the 120-minute game, and it had to be decided by penalties.
