The White Gods from Salisbury stormed through to the next round of the FA Cup and are just one game away from meeting football league opposition. They beat James Bird's hometown Weston-Super-Mare 3-1 on Saturday afternoon.
Weston play in a higher league but you wouldn't have believed it. Following a positive opening 18 minutes City took the lead from the penalty spot when Craig Davis was fouled. DAVIS brushed himself down and scored from the spot with ease.
Early in the 2nd half Salisbury increased their lead when DAVIS, unmarked on the far side of the penalty area, beat Northmore from Matthews' cross. Weston were reduced to 10 men on 75 minutes when McGregor was shown a straight red card for foul and abusive language to one of the referees' assistants. Tubbs then nearly made it three when he rattled the bar. Minutes later however, Davis crossed and MATTHEWS drove in.
In the dying minutes W-S-M scored a consolation after Mings was brought down and although Sawyer pushed French's penalty kick away, McKEEVER scored from the rebound, but it was all too little, too late.
Salisbury Team: to follow
MoM: Davis
Attendance: 543
