Carlisle United v Horsham LIVE: Hornets visit Football League outfit Blues in first round proper of the FA Cup
Key Events
- Hornets set for first FA Cup first round clash in 14 years
- Horsham have overcome Haywards Heath Town, Kingstonian, National League South outfit Eastbourne Borough and National League side Woking to reach the first round
- Horsham’s opponents Carlisle sit second-from-bottom in League Two - they are winless in six in all competitions
67 - All mentions of post-hardcore bands from St Albans aside, the Hornets are still very much in this. They’ve been compact at the back and have looked a genuine threat on the break.
69 - GOAL CARLISLE - Armer makes a good run down the left, and gets a low cross in which substitute Young controls then finishes into the bottom corner.
71 - And Carlisle almost grab a second. A devilish cross is crying out for a touch from a Blues player but it somehow evades everyone.
74 - Triple substitution for the Hornets. The excellent Will Miles, Charlie Harris and Steve Metcalf have made way for Danny Dudley, Lucas Rodrigues and Tom Richards. Can they spark the Hornets into life?
78 - Pair of substitutions for both sides. Chris Smith has come on for Rob O’Toole while Taylor Charters has replaced Jordan Gibson for Carlisle.
81 - Another magnificent save from Sam Howes! Goalscorer Young is played through one-on-one but the Hornets stopper turns his effort over.
