Hungerford out and Thatcham hit at home

They were made to pay for wasting possession against a Chalfont side from a division lower, but which never buckled under pressure and eventually got its reward for a gutsy display and a place in the next round with £3,000 in the club’s purses.
Hungerford were caught on the hop after only two minutes when Jon Boardman fouled Remmel Clarke, whose free kick was nodded down by Gareth Paxton for Alan Hedley to score on the fall.
Hungerford were back on terms 15 minutes later when Sam Grayley’s high boot connected with Matt Day as he went in to meet a James Pilling cross and Mark Draycott scored from the spot.
Hungerford had the ball, and chances. Draycott was denied on the line by Grayley and Josh Parsons hit the post from close range before Chalfont snatched a winner their endeavour and effort deserved when Grayling cut off a pass and ground Hedley, and he in turn picked out Glenn Yala who was outnumbered but still found space to turn to slip the ball past Paul Strudley and late responses came to nothing as Hungerford made their earliest cup exit in years.

Thatcham were very much second best in the first half when they had goalkeeper Chris Rackley to thank for keeping them on terms.
It looked as if they had shaken off that malaise when they went ahead early in the second period when Simeon Howell’s cross was met by the overlapping Mark Hughes and his header looped over goalkeeper Gary Stevens.
But the visitors rallied with Matt Horsell winning possession to set up Ryan King for the equaliser, and another King delivery was nodded back by Ash Taylor for Callum Parsons to head home.
Thatcham went in chase, but only a goal-line clearance from Paul Taplin off Nathan Blackford saved them from a heavier defeat.
