Grouville, who were again well under-strength, progressed to the semi-finals of the competition following a 6-5 penalty shoot-out victory over Sylvans after a goal-less draw after extra-time.
Grouville scored all six kicks they took before goalkeeper Gareth Bayley won them the match with a save.
Grouville’s scorers were Jason Byrne, Toni Cardoso, Chris Carter, David Syvret Paul Nicell and Shaun Heslop.

ST PAUL’S and Trinity maintained their unbeaten records in Division I on Saturday, leaving the Saints two points clear at the top of table from the parish club.
Corner Second half goals from Craig Leitch – direct from a corner for the second time this season – and substitute Nathan Taylor, with his first touch, secured St Paul’s the points to rob Tower of at least a share of the spoils after playing some good football.
Tower’s problem this season is obviously in front of goal; they’ve hit the target just twice in five consecutive Division I defeats.
Trinity, who had defender Stephen Jones sent off just before half time following two cautions inside a couple of minutes, scored their winner in stoppage time – Lee Jones’ shot from 18 yards squirming through goalkeeper Daniel Gillett’s despairing dive low to his left.
Carl Scott shot Rozel ahead from the penalty spot before John Beatson levelled the scores in the 20th minute with a curling shot into a top corner from 20 yards.
Jimmy Reilly slid in at a far post to make it 2-1 only for the hosts to equalise when James O’Haire forced the ball home from eight yards.
Time was almost up with Trinity grabbed what turned out to be the winner to remain two points behind leaders St Paul’s and three ahead of champions Jersey Scottish, who have a game in hand, and the Portuguese Club.

Wanderers returned 6-2 winners from St Peter where Scott Slicer and Dave Wright both scored two for the winners and Dave Ibbotson and Stuart Brown one apiece.
St Peter had Neal Crowell sent off for alleged foul language and first-team manager Jon Trigg may also be in hot water following comments he is alleged to have made to the match official during the game.

Rozel won 4-0 against Jersey Scottish at the Airport while the Saints defeated Grouville 6-2 at St Saviour.

Ollie Lucas replied.
