      Goalkeeper saves Holt penalty as Brighton go through

      Shrewsbury striker Grant Holt missed the crucial fifth penalty as Brighton secured a 5-4 shoot-out victory in the Southern Area final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy after a goalless draw. The Shrews, who had scored 13 goals without reply in their previous ties, could not find a way past their League One opponents. Holt and Ben Davies twice missed good chances and Brighton's young goalkeeper John Sullivan kept the Seagulls in the game with a spectacular flying save to tip over a 20-yard drive from Jamie White. When the tie went to penalties, the two sides scored their first four. But after Matt Richards scored a fifth for Brighton, Holt, who has scored from the penalty spot six times this season, missed the vital kick.
