Bourne Town
Boldmere St Michaels
Boldmere St Michaels, the lower-ranked visitors, took a shock lead just before the half-hour mark through Tolani Omotola and then set about defending it with disciplined resolve. Bourne Town, expected to dominate given their league standing, struggled to break down a well-organised opponent and were made to wait until the 87th minute for their reward, when Zac Allen forced home an equaliser to snatch a share of the spoils. The match had little rhythm in between the two goals, with the second half offering almost nothing in terms of clear chances until Allen's intervention. For Bourne Town, the result will feel like a stumble against lesser opposition, while Boldmere can take real pride in taking a top-four side to the wire in the FA Cup.
How entertaining was this match?
