Romford
Harleston Town made an emphatic statement in this FA Cup tie, tearing into Romford from the first whistle and putting the game to bed inside 19 minutes. Three goals in the opening quarter of an hour, including a penalty, showed clinical efficiency in front of goal and left Romford chasing shadows from the restart. Jake Reed's finish was the standout individual contribution in a dominant opening spell that overwhelmed Romford's backline before they'd had time to settle. Prince Sikiru gave Romford something to cheer with a second-half strike, but by then the damage was long done, and Harleston Town saw out the remainder of the match comfortably to book their place in the next round.
