Non-league Maldon & Tiptree produce Cup upset away against Orient

Isthmian League North Division side Maldon & Tiptree pulled off a major shock in the FA Cup first round, winning 2-1 at Leyton Orient.

Danny Parish opened the scoring just before half-time, sparking wild celebrations, and Jorome Slew doubled their lead in the 65th minute.

Substitute James Dayton halved the deficit for Orient, who played against 10 men for the final six minutes following Parish’s dismissal.

Macclesfield’s problems deepened as they were the victims of a giant-killing by Isthmian League Premier Division side Kingstonian. League Two Town confirmed the game would go ahead after speculation it would be postponed as a result of a players’ strike due to the club’s failure to pay their wages.

But no first-team players were included, with their side consisting of youngsters and loanees, and they paid the price. Dan Hector and Louie Theophanous netted inside 11 minutes before Dan Bennett and Theophanous scored in the second half to give Kingstonian a thumping 4-0 win.
