Harborough Town FC Makes FA Cup History

Seventh-tier Harborough Town FC has made history by reaching the FA Cup first round for the first time after a 1-0 victory against Bury FC, with Ben Stephens scoring the decisive penalty in the 77th minute. The match drew a record crowd of 1,800 at the Community Football Ground, and Harborough, previously reaching the second qualifying round in the last two seasons, will find out their first-round opponents during a live draw on BBC Two. Other clubs also advanced, including Chesham United, who surprised Yeovil Town, and Aldershot Town, who secured a late victory against Bath City. Meanwhile, Plymouth Parkway prepares for their own historic challenge as they aim to reach the first round against Worthing, with manager Chris McPhee urging his players to give their all. The excitement surrounding the FA Cup continues as clubs from various tiers compete for a chance to face larger football league teams.
