Dovey denies Evesham

EVESHAM United’s FA Cup heroics counted for nothing as Stourbridge dumped them out of the FA Trophy.

Lyndon Dovey completed the Glassboys’ 2-1 comeback win at Amblecote and put Gary Hackett’s men into today’s third qualifying round draw.

Evesham, who make their first-ever appearance in the FA Cup first round next Saturday at Torquay, had begun brightly when Mark Owen scored.

But Leon Broadhurst converted Les Hines’ free-kick for an equaliser and Dovey bagged the winner.

Ross Draper struck twice as Hednesford saw off hosts Stamford 4-3.

Draper and Elliott Durrell put the Pitmen 2-0 ahead after 10 minutes but it was 2-2 by the 23rd minute after Danny Cotton netted twice.

But Draper restored the Hednesford lead 11 minutes before half-time and then Ross Dyer added a fourth on 89 minutes before Cotton completed his hat-trick for the hosts.

Chasetown face a replay at North Ferriby tomorrow after sub Tony Onokah’s 88th-minute equaliser.

The UniBond team led through Bradshaw but Onokah scrambled home from a Vaughan Thomas header.

Sutton Coldfield Town conceded an injury-time goal to lose 3-2 at home to Glapwell.

The Royals had seemed to be on course to progress when they led 2-0 with a header from Aaron Farrell, and Neil Davis, volleying in from the edge of the area.
