NORTHWOOD manager Tony Choules said before the game that he would have been over the moon with a draw from their AXA FA Cup third qualifying round fixture at Kettering Town.

Although the 3-0 scoreline suggested otherwise, a replay at Northwood Park was the least his team deserved after a performance that lacked nothing but an equal run of the ball.

Meanwhile, Berkhamsted Town pushed Nigel Clough to the brink in the second half as Town's penchant for coming from behind nearly undid Burton Albion, but they eventually went down 2-1.

The visitors fought back from a 2-0 deficit and the manner of the defeat suggests that Town don't lose, they just run out of time.
