It was the visitors who took the lead against the run of play. Nathan Lane put a ball through to Lewis Brady who shot cleanly.
The goal only galvanised Birchwood and they soon equalised.
Neither side could break the deadlock in extra time and Birchwood won it on penalties.
Under-13B
Gonerby 6
Sleaford Town Boys 1
A rampant Gonerby outclassed a plucky Sleaford team to further consolidate their top of the table position.
An excellent first half hat trick from Sam Brown and a clinical finish from Robert McNulty meant Gonerby deservedly went into the break 4-0 in front.
Sleaford came more into it in the second half, but further goals from George Corden and Brown put the result beyond doubt.
Sleaford notched a late consolation goal when Lewis Gullick was unluckily beaten by a close range shot.
Gonerby: Gullick (c), Smith, Corden, Burton, Sellars, Davidson, Gorman, Taggart, Atkinson, Brown, McNulty, Bautista, Boyle, Lewin.

The visitors pulled a goal back immediately from a well taken corner, when Coates was left unmarked for a simple header at the back post.
With their tails up, Gonerby duly levelled when Dodwell spilled a cross-cum-shot and Jefferson pounced for an easy tap-in.
Barrowby sneaked the win with a Tom Mayfield goal in extra time.
