Barnet striker Adam Birchall (left), the hero in the last round against Burton Albion did it again on Saturday equalising 5 minutes from the end to take Swindon back to Underhill next week.Swindon striker Billy Paynter squandered two gilt-edged chances in the first half, before BLAIR STURROCK, whose father Paul left Swindon to manage Plymouth in November, netted on the hour mark with a scrambled effort after Barnet goalkeeper Rob Beckwith parried Miguel Comminges' effort high into the air.
It looked all over for the Bees, but with five minutes left on the clock, ADAM BIRCHALL, a former trainee with Arsenal, picked out the top left-hand corner of Swindon's goal with his shot. The 23-year-old had been brought on midway through the second half and manager Paul Fairclough said: "Not only was it a brilliant strike, but Adam's first touch to take the ball down from the long kick was magnificent too."
Barnet will host their rivals from a division above next Tuesday.
