Like I said it's 'criminal' how Arlesey Town have been treated isn't it, at least they can use the same match programme albeit with Saturday's date:

Ardley United have done the difficult part drawing 2-2 at Royal Wootton Bassett Town on Saturday, lets hope they can finish the job this evening at their Nolan Oils Ground:

Broadfields United may well have missed their opportunity on Saturday at Tithe Farm after throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Reading City:

The attractive looking programme cover for this evening,  Flackwell Heath should be able to finish the job:

Risborough Rangers should still be okay this evening shouldn't they despite fluffing their lines at Horsenden lane on Saturday, see the match programme:

Herculano Carvalho is likely to be the difference at Hitchin Road this evening isn't he with Step 3 Bowers & Pitsea waiting in the First Qualifying Round:

A lot of coverage on Ascot United's Twitter page including video clips of the goals, unsurprising not so much on Risborough Rangers page having been 2-0 up at half time and cruising, what went so horribly wrong:

Sincere apologies to Rissy who is understandably conspicuous by his absence, a groundhopper from another Forum was at Ascot United last night:

FA Cup Preliminary Round Replay
Ascot United 3 Risborough Rangers 2
Entry - £3 (conc) card only. Weather - dry and pleasant. Attendance - can't find it but definitely 200+
The proverbial game of 2 halves. At HT RR were 0-2 up with goals on 20 and 35, both spectacular long range efforts. AU virtually nowhere to be seen.
Second half was the opposite. AU scored on 48 then again on 56 to equalise, as RR seemingly ran out of steam. Nevertheless I was braced for extra time until AU scored on 90+3 to send us all home on time.
Good crowd and atmosphere. Ascot's reward is a trip to Hythe Town in deepest Kent in the next round.

No need to apologise Rhodes, we shot ourselves in the foot to be honest, fair play to Ascot, one of the nicest Clubs around with good people involved so no bitterness towards them. Could and should of been out of sight at HT with the amount of chances we made. Very last kick of the game as well apart from kicking off again so it probably hurted more. Move onto Saturday now and focus on trying to win the 3pts against London Colney at Cotlandswick. All the best to Ascot, some you win some you don’t, that’s the beauty & magic of the F.A Cup.
