Round-up: Local FA Cup action

Maidstone United are in the hat for the Fourth Qualifying Round for the first time since the club reformed.

A stunning 4-1 away win at Southern League side Halesowen saw Alan Walker’s side come from behind.

Three goals in four minutes did the damage before the break, Meshach Nugent levelled things up on 43 minutes, before two goals in stoppage time from Jay Saunders and a curling effort from Lloyd Blackman made it 3-1.

The Stones then made it 4-1 with Ian Selley, who appeared in the 1993 FA Cup Final with Arsenal, finishing off the turn around from the penalty spot on 76 minutes.

Dover Athletic are also in the hat for the next round, but must try again on Tuesday night after a frustrating goalless draw with AFC Wimbledon. A 2,700 strong crowd at The Crabble saw the Whites hold the Blue Square South side. Frannie Collin came closest to winning it for the hosts, hitting the bar mid way through the second half.
