Horsham pulled off an FA Cup upset and Horsham YMCA have been handed a sentimental next round tie in a good weekend of cup football.

Loxwood also forced a replay to ensure all three were in the hat for Tuesday morning’s first round qualifying draw.

Charlie Harris’ 87th-minute free kick saw the Hornets overcome division-higher Carshalton Athletic with a 1-0 victory.

Manager Dominic Di Paola said: “It was a fantastic team performance. We had watched them a couple of times and devised a plan and the boys stuck to it brilliantly and with the goal at the time it came – the perfect performance.”
