Slimbridge ripped into Baffins Milton Rovers from the first whistle, needing just eleven minutes to find a breakthrough through Alex Bell before Olly Sully doubled the advantage a minute later. That two-goal burst effectively settled the tie inside the opening quarter of the match, with the non-league visitors showing far greater cup pedigree and killer instinct in front of goal. Baffins, playing above their station against a side with clear star quality advantage, never recovered from the early sucker punch and were chasing the game for the remaining hour. The scoreline eventually finished 4-1, but it was that lightning start that told the real story of this FA Cup tie.
How entertaining was this match?
