The Sunday Firsts are into the hat for the next round with a dramatic stoppage-time win against Singh Sabha Slough.

The Sunday Firsts are through to the Second Round of the FA Sunday Cup after defeating Singh Sabha Slough at 1878 Stadium, Burnham, on Sunday afternoon (5th Dec).

Making our debut in the country's biggest national Sunday League knock-out tournament, Josh Howell put us in front from the penalty spot before Jack Bowyer doubled our lead with 30 minutes played. The hosts pulled a goal back before the break as we went in 2-1 in-front at half-time.

Early into the second-half Ollie Brown made it three with a good finish, but Singh Sabha replied instantly to reduce our lead to one goal again.

The hosts began to apply more pressure as the game drew to a close, before drawing level when a crossed free-kick went straight in as we entered stoppage-time.

With the game looking as though it would be decided by penalties, a dramatic finish followed deep into added time, as Ryan Farmer rose highest to meet a free-kick into the box and beat the Singh Sabha goalkeeper and send us through to the next round.

The Second Round is scheduled to take place on Sunday 16th January 2022.
