LONDON Colney scraped through against Buckingham Athletic in the Division One Cup on Tuesday.

The Blueboys let a two-goal lead slip away before clawing their way back in extra time to eventually prevail.

Soon after Buckingham reduced the arrears with a penalty which Dave O'Dell converted. Buckingham then drew level in the 78th minute as Steve Norman fired the ball home for 2-2.

The match progressed to extra time and Colney finally got the job done when Danslow and Greg Shaw combined to set up stalwart Dave Townsend who fizzed a low shot into the bottom corner for 3-2.
