Tuesday Preview: FA Cup Third Qualifying Round Replay

By Tom Feaheny

A number of our Vanarama National League North and South are in action tonight as they look to progress to the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup.

There are two all Vanarama National League North taking place as Gainsborough Trinity take on Leamington after the two sides drew on Saturday 0-0, in a game where both managers admitted neither side deserved to lose, they both know the winner will take on Harrogate Town after their win last night at the Horsfall Stadium, writes Tom Feaheny.

Also taking place FC United of Manchester who recorded a fantastic comeback at Edgeley Park on Saturday after they came back from three goals down against Stockport County, there is bound to be a good crowd at Broadhurst Park, the winner of that match could take on another Vanarama National League North side.

As AFC Telford United host Stafford Rangers, the Bucks needed a late goal to ensure these two sides would meet again after it finished 1-1 on Saturday thanks to a John Marsden strike in the 85th minute.

Billericay Town and Vanarama National League South side Hungerford Town face off again tonight after their previous game ended 1-1 with Billericay substitute Ricky Modeste equalising to cancel out Stefan Brown’s first half penalty for Hungerford, the winner of this clash will face take on Vanarama National League North side Brackley Town away from home.

And Vanarama National League South side East Thurrock United and Harlow Town will try again after a 2-2 draw at Rookery Hill. Sam Higgins scored twice for the Rocks, while Alex Read and Xavier Vidal responded for Harlow, the winner will face Vanarama National League side Ebbsfleet United.
