Comments |
Neither side could break
the deadlock as Dartford were held to a goalless draw at
minnows Leiston in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup
on Saturday.
More than 800 supporters watched the
closely-fought contest at the Eastern Counties
League Premier Division side's Victory Road ground.
Dartford - three leagues above Leiston in the football pyramid -
controlled the opening quarter and had a strong penalty appeal
turned down in the 12th minute. Moments later, Charlie Sheringham's
(pictured) shot was kept at bay by a fine save from Jamie
Stannard.
Leiston eventually forced their way into the match, testing John
Whitehouse and the Darts defence three times before the break, and
hthey ad the upper hand for most of the second half.
Dartford boss Tony Burman made a trio of substitutions in the
70th minute in a desperate bid to win the tie but his side was
unable to find a way through past a resilient Leiston
side.
The two sides face a replay at Princes Park on Tuesday night to
decide who progresses to the first round proper of the FA Cup.
