History-making Sheppey United gave League 2 Walsall a first-half scare before their best FA Cup run ended in front of the television cameras on Friday night.

Midfielder James Bessey-Saldanha gave them hope of what would have been one of the competition’s greatest upsets with a goal-of-the-season contender and, although Douglas James-Taylor equalised for the Saddlers, it remained all square at the break.
