Chesham United won 2-0 at Harrow Borough in their F.A. Cup replay tonight, thanks to a brace from Darrell Cox.

They will now entertain Billericay Town in the 2nd Qualifying Round on Saturday 26th September.

Just what the doctor ordered, a convincing 3-0 win away from home.

That was a massive win for us, and I’m delighted for the team and management as well as the fans. The whole squad have contributed to that win...

The draw for the 2nd Qualifying Round of the F.A. Cup was made today.

Billericay Town have been drawn away to either Chesham United (4th in the Zamaretto League Division One Midlands) or Harrow Borough (12th in the Ryman League Premier) on Saturday 26th September.

Chesham drew 1-1 at home with Harrow on Saturday, both goals being scored from penalties. They will replay tomorrow night.

Commenting on the draw, Brian Statham said "Firstly, I'm very satisfied to be in the draw after a very disciplined performance on Saturday. I don’t think it’s ever possible to get the ideal draw in the F.A. cup, unless its Manchester United at home in the 1st round!

Chesham or Harrow in the next round will be another test of our mental resolve and discipline. As a player I was at Chesham from 2000 for three seasons under former Billericay manager John Kendall and then under Bob Dowie. A home draw would have been nice but if we get as good a following as we did Saturday versus Hornchurch then that will be fantastic, as the support the players got from the fans throughout the game helped spur the them on to an excellent result!"

An X-ray has found that Ian Wiles sustained a depressed fracture of the skull from a collision during the game versus Tooting & Mitcham last week. He is due to see a surgeon next week to ascertain the next steps.

Brian Statham said "It’s very disappointing news for Ian. His form has been excellent as his partnership with Greg Oates has grown in stature.  I know Ian is very disappointed as he was enjoying his football, but the most important thing above all else is his health."

Everyone at the Club would like to wish Ian a full and speedy recovery.

Town hoping for the luck of the cup in front of goal

Match preview by Paul Jennings.

Blues Boss Brian Statham will be hoping that a change of competition will bring a change of fortune in front of goal when his side travel to AFC Hornchurch in the FA Cup 1st Qualifying round on Saturday.

Town's indifferent start to the season has seen them score just four goals and the Blues boss knows that with the winners of the tie earning £3,000 there is no better time to start converting their chances. With no major injuries or unavailability to report, Town have a full squad to select from.
