HALF-TIME – it’s goalless at the break in the FA Cup. Manager Chris Funnell will be keen for side to win this in the second period – as it stands, there’s the unwelcome prospect of a midweek replay.

38 mins – And now Limb has a header that flashes wide as Boston Town look to finish the half strongly.

CHANCE – The closest either side have come so far as Harry Limb receives a good pass from Layton Maddison and drives towards goal but his right-footed shot is inches wide.

25 mins – Chris Funnell’s side starting to put more pressure on the Sherwood goal now, with Finley Ging and Kallum Smith both getting forward to support their attacks.

20 mins – The Poachers force their first corner of the afternoon but it comes to nothing.

15 mins – A quarter of an hour gone and few clear-cut chances so far for either side. The pitch is thankfully looking a lot greener than a week ago when it was very hard and dry after the drought conditions this summer.

We’re underway at the Mortgages For You Stadium.
