Potters Bar Town, through to the second round of the FA Youth Cup for the first time, face Bristol City at The Walk on Wednesday.

Town clinched the plum tie with a thrilling 4-3 win over Edgware Town through a late penalty by Carl Thomas. Trailing 2-0, they hit back to lead 3-2 with goals by James Rose, Bill Rowley, and Soloman Henry. Edgware's Chris Henry levelled at 3-3, but with exta time looming, Thomas grabbed the winner.

Potters Bar are in the third round draw on Friday when the big boys of the Premiership enter. They are one of only two non-league clubs included.
