Last Time We Met

For the second season running, Brackley Town made it to the last eight of the Buildbase FA Trophy after beating Sutton in the Third Round.

Harry Beautyman and Terrel Thomas both went close in the early minutes and Louis John’s shot needed a good save from Danny Lewis, before growing into the tie, and they went ahead in the 29th minute when Lee Ndlovu prodded the ball home after a scramble from Shane Byrne’s corner.
