Third cup comeback for Rutherford’s men

It is a huge disappointment for fans and for a club who made FA Cup headlines with runs to the first round proper in the 1980 sand 1990s but have not got to that stage since. It’s a lost chance of much-needed revenue from Cup prize money.
Rico Greco provided an early threat down the left for the hosts before Harvey Whyte failed to capitalise on a half chance for Bognor.
Bog nor had more chances through Dylan Kierney, Jordy mongoy, Joe cook and will Stone’s but the first half fionished goalless.
Hayes & Yeading took the lead as a corner from Scott Donnelly found Keano Robinson, who headed it beyond Tangara. Bog nor went further behind when they lost the ball deep in their own half and a simple cross along the deck to Greco saw the forward slot it low into the net on 51 minutes.
It got worse for Bognor as a simple through ball reached Francis amartey, who capitalised on Tangara rushing out of his area to slot the ball below him and into the net on 65 minutes. Tangara saved a header on 69 minutes but the follow-up by Greco saw him slam the ball high into the net.
More was to come and bognor lost the ball just inside their own half and Donnelly stole the ball before spotting Tangara and finding the net from long distance on 74 minutes. This was a forget table afternoon( full report online ).
