Kingstonian vs Leatherhead - FA Cup

Kingstonian, sitting second in their league, came into this FA Cup tie as the higher-fancied side but found themselves undone by a Leatherhead outfit happy to sit in and strike on the counter. The single goal proved decisive, with Kingstonian unable to find a way through despite their status as favourites on paper. It was a match short on fireworks but heavy on cup jeopardy, the kind of tie where one moment of quality settles the tie and forces the bigger name out of the competition. For Kingstonian, the early cup exit will sting given their league form, while Leatherhead can celebrate a notable scalp and a run that continues in the next round.
