Beadle quoted after this epic FA Cup Tie..

"In football terms, it's been a great day for us. It is probably parallel to our FA Vase run as to be in the second round is a fantastic achievement.

"The red card changed the tide of the game. It seemed a heavy challenge but the fact all the players reacted the way they did showed it was a bad one.

"We could have been two behind in the first half as we looked a little bit nervous but we grew into the game.

"We started to impose ourselves in the second half and we took control of the game after the sending-off and we fortunate enough to get the goal."

The meeting between the two phoenix clubs was a passionate affair, played in front of a record crowd of 4,700 at Edgar Street.

And who will want to face Hereford in the Second Round with a club with fantastic support..a real 12th man.
