Fellow Conference outfit Mansfield Town left it late but earned a replay against our boys Forest Green Rovers in the FA Cup 1st Round on Saturday. Sean Rigg set up defender JARED HODGKISS to put Rovers ahead from close range shortly before the half-hour mark. Then with the hat calling Paul Stonehouse, Conal Platt and Joe O'Cearuill all spurned chances to double the home side's advantage after the break.
Heatache happened four minutes from time for Rovers as Mansfield substitute Ryan Williams found Scott Garner who headed in home the equaliser four minutes from time.
Forest Green: Burton, Preece, O'Cearuill, Hodgkiss, McDonald, Stonehouse, Smith, Rigg,
Brown, Platt, Ameobi (Davies 77).
Subs not used: Pass, Pugh, Jon Else, Powell, King, Palmer
Attendance: 1,149
Forest Green manager Dave Hockaday said "We should have won that game. A mistake at the end has cost us." The Replay is next Tuesday with the winners drawn away at Conference South Bath City.
