They go again, third meeting in a week!!

FA Trophy

AFC Rushden & Diamonds v Banbury United

AFC Rushden & Diamonds and Banbury United will meet for the third time in the space of a week on Tuesday night after they couldn’t be separated in 0-0 draw in the FA Trophy at Hayden Road.

Having beaten the same opponents in the BetVictor Southern League Premier Central last Tuesday evening, Diamonds were left frustrated on this occasion as they were unable to convert their second-half pressure into goals.

There were chances at both ends in an even first half but Diamonds had the better of things after the break and the closest they came was when Liam Dolman saw his header tipped over the bar by Jack Harding.

Both teams will now be in the draw for the second qualifying round before meeting again in the replay at Banbury on Tuesday night.
