A last minute super strike from leading scorer, Mark Salter, gave Frome a deserved replay against Salisbury City who play two leagues higher in the Ryman Premier Division.
Frome started the most dangerously and City's goalkeeper Hedges was by far the busier but as Frome continued to look dangerous going forward they were caught out at the back to gift Salisbury the lead, Craig Davis with a simple tap in from close range.
The second half was played out in torrential rain that was on the verge of monsoon conditions and with Frome pushing forward for an equaliser cheered on by 100 away fans in the Raymond McEnhill Stadium (I will find out who Raymond is for you because I know you won't be able to get through the week otherwise!), twice Salisbury were foiled by good defending.
But with a minute to go a hopeful ball forward was flicked on by Jon Hayter and as Glenn Howes failed to clear the ball, MARK SALTER pounced on the opportunity and let fly with a 25 yard drive that flew past Hedges and into the top corner to spark wild scenes amongst the huddled and soaking wet Frome supporters.
It was a great result for our boys and spare a thought for the Robins in the replay at Badgers Hill this Wednesday.
