Shane Baptiste's Woodford Town side can have their heads held incredibly high, after a brilliant performance means we earn a replay against Southern Premier League Central Division side Bury Town in the Emirates FA Cup.
The hosts showed their capabilities throughout, yet we stood strong and took the lead through striker Ollie Sotoyinbo in the 67th minute! However, our lead was short-lived, as ten minutes later, George Quantrell’s deflected effort beat Manny Agboola to make it 1-1.
Both sides had chances in the dying stages, but with no way through for either team, our Emirates FA Cup Second Qualifying Round tie will be decided with a replay at Ashton’s on Wednesday night.
