....could yet be joined by Dover
Athletic, Boston United, Solihull Moors and minnows Chichester City, who play
in the next two days.
AFC
Fylde reached the Third Round for the first time in their history when they
overcame BetVictor Isthmian League Premier Division side Kingstonian at Corinthian-Casuals
ground.
The
Coasters took just 9 minutes to take the lead with a strike from 20 yards from
Jordan Williams.
And
then in first half injury-time, Williams bagged his and the visitors second.
Eastleigh
shared 1-1 draw at the Silverlake Stadium with SkyBet League Two side Crewe
Alexandra.
The
visitors led through Owen Dale`s 36th minute header – and they held
that advantage until 4 minutes from the end when sub Marcus Barnes popped up to
give the Spitfires a second chance and a place in Monday`s draw.
Sadly,
it was the end of the road for famed cup fighters Altrincham as the National
League North outfit suffered a heart-breaking stoppage time defeat against
former FA Cup winners Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
Ben
Close broke the deadlock to give Pompey the lead after 56 minutes with a fine
volleyed finish.
However,
7 minutes from time, Alty were rewarded for their spirited efforts when they
were awarded a penalty with less than 7 minutes remaining when Christian
Burgess brought down striker Jordan Hulme.
Josh
Hancock duly converted the resulting spot-kick and it looked as though
Portsmouth would be heading north for a very awkward replay at the J.Davidson
Staduim.
But
in the 4th minute of stoppage time, sub Brett Pitman headed home
Pompey`s winner. |
