In-form Wilts midfielder Dan Sheppard regained the lead from a well-rehearsed short corner, but again they sat back and Newent levelled for the second time.
Welsh international Mark Brothers put the visitors ahead once again but, with the visitors down to 10 men, Newent levelled for the third time.
Wilts were on top throughout the extra time, but were unable to score the however could not scored the golden-goal winner and the game went to penalty flicks.
