Two non-league fotoball teams need 44 penalties to separate them in a cup tie - setting a UK record in the process.
Old Wulfrunians and Lane Head drew 3-3 in their JW Hunt Cup tie sending the clash to a penalty shootout.
Every player on each team had to take two penalties, including both goalkeepers when left-back Jack Marsh, 27, a teacher, slotted home his spot kick for Old Wulfs in sudden death.
