KEVIN WILKIN praised Brackley’s resilience after they needed penalties to reach round two.

Lee Ndlovu and Matt Lowe put Brackley 2-0 up, but Darren Foxley pulled one back and, although Tre Mitford restored the two-goal cushion, Bishop’s Stortford forced extra time through Tom Richardson and Foxley’s second.

“We’ve been on the wrong end of pens recently,” said Wilkin. “To come through is a credit to the resilience of those lads.”

MARK BENTLEY praised his Canvey Island side after they withstood a second-half barrage.

Conor Hubble and Elliott Ronto scored for the Islanders (below), with Ricky Johnson finding the nett for Banbury. Bentley said: “We have made the club proud. They threw everything everyth at us and we have hav done it again.”

Home boss Andy Whing said: “We were the better team by b miles.”
