Southern League Hungerford Town are safely through to the FA Cup First Qualifying Round after surviving a second scare against Wokingham Town in five days.
The Crusaders were 1-0 down at half time at Lowther Road following Aaron Peprah-Baah’s headed opener – a lead the home side more than deserved.
Summer-signing Sheldon Wright had other ideas, though, for Danny Robinson’s side, scoring in the 77th minute and then hitting the injury-time sucker punch on 94 minutes.

Isthmian League
The only other local game on the night saw Binfield lose 4-0 at neighbours Ascot United in the Isthmian League South Central Division One.
The Moles remain point-less after three league games this season and manager Ross Weatherstone posted on social media: “I won’t hide. I won’t make excuses and I won’t stop working until we get it right.
“There was nothing between the teams for 41 minutess, until we turnover the ball and give a needless penalty away! Our next action from that moment must be stronger! Now, we stick together and graft.”
Both sides are in FA Trophy First Qualifying Round action at the weekend along with Hungerford, Windsor & Eton and Didcot Town. All the fixtures are here on the Fixtures & Scores page.
