Harlequins and Laverstock to meet in FA Cup

Wednesday, 7 August 2024 09:13

Two local sides, Bemerton Heath Harlequins and Laverstock and Ford will meet in an FA Cup preliminary round clash on Saturday, August 17th.

The game was set up as both sides overcame replays away from home to see them through the extra preliminary round.

Bemerton beat Brockenhurst by a single goal. Marcus Smith scored from a free kick in added time at the end of the game in the New Forest. The win followed a 1-1 draw on Saturday at their A-Class Arena ground on Western Way.

Laverstock also drew their initial home tie 1-1 against Cowes Sports of the Isle of Wight.

Yesterday evening, the club made the trip to the island and ended with a 3-1 win, securing their spot in the next round. Goals from Russell Jones, Archie Lovegrove and Cameron Roach saw Lavvy through.

The results set up the all-Salisbury tie, which will be played at Bemerton's A-Class arena on Saturday 17th August.

Salisbury Radio will include goal updates from this game in their Saturday sports show, Hits and Kicks with Andy Munns
