South Liverpool
Prestwich Heys
South Liverpool twice held the lead in this FA Cup tie but couldn't see the game out, with Prestwich Heys showing real resilience to snatch a share of the spoils deep into injury time. The home side struck first in the 26th minute and looked to have weathered Luke Findlow's leveller just nine minutes later by restoring their advantage on 55 minutes. But Prestwich Heys kept pushing until the very end, and Ellis Richardson's 90th-minute strike ensured the tie will need a replay to be settled. It was a match of fine margins and momentum swings, with neither side able to establish lasting control, and the late goal will sting South Liverpool given how close they came to progressing.
How entertaining was this match?
South Liverpool host Prestwich Heys in a 1st Round Qualifying tie as both non-league sides dream of an FA Cup run. With little in the way of team news filtering through, this one promises the classic cup unpredictability of grassroots football.
