The Dockers progressed to the next round of the FA Trophy wining the penalty shoot out 5-4.

The Millers were on top in the opening half and took the lead in the 31st minute an excellent strike from Enoch Muwonge which flew nto the top corner from just outside the box giving the Dockers keeper no chance. The Dockers came more into the game after the interval and equalised in the sixty-ninth minute - substitute George Godwin heading home a free kick form out wide of the penalty area. With the scores level at 90 minutes the tie went straight to a penalty shoot out.

Nine of the ten penalties found the back of the net with just the Millers third penalty missing the target. It was the fourth time in eight FA Trophy campaigns that the Millers have exited in that way.
