NORTH Leigh conceded two late goals as AFC Stoneham forced a replay in their Emirates FA Cup first round qualifying tie.

Ben Brown put the Millers ahead early in the second half, before Levi Steele made it 2-0 ten minutes from time to seemingly seal victory.

But Scott Hills quickly reduced the deficit and Duarte Martins equalised in stoppage-time to set up a replay in Hampshire tomorrow night.

Didcot Town were on the right end of late drama as Connor Barrett’s last-minute screamer secured a 1-1 home draw against Plymouth Parkway in the Cup.

Ben Seymour had put the visitors ahead on the hour mark.

The Railwaymen head to Devon tomorrow.

There was no game for Thame United or Kidlington in Pitching In Southern League Division 1 Central.
