Slough Town and Hungerford Town are a step closer to the ultimate away-day after progressing to the FA Trophy Third Round.
Fresh from starring in the FA Cup, Slough beat Farnborough 2-1 at Arbour Park with Nathan Minhas firing the opener past former Rebel Jack Turner just before half-time.
Another former Rebel Aaron Kuhl levelled in the second half but it was Johnny Goddard – proving it’s not just Scott Davies who can fire in a free-kick or two – who got the winner.
The game marked a welcome return to action for Gary Abisogun who finally made his debut following injury, and new Rebels goalkeeper Dan Lincoln who was brought in during the week.
