FA Cup Preliminary Round replays: Cray Valley PM beat Lordswood; Herne Bay defeat Bedfont Sports; Erith Town lose to Burgess Hill Town

Cray Valley got past lower-league opponents Lordswood at the second attempt on Tuesday night.

A 4-1 win for Cray at the Artic Stadium sends them into the first qualifying round and an away match against either Uxbridge or Corinthian Casuals, who play on Wednesday night.

The Wood had taken Cray to a replay following a 1-1 draw at Martyn Grove on Saturday and it was even-stevens again at the break when they met again for the midweek replay.

Kyrell Lisbie put the Millers ahead on Tuesday but a first half stoppage-time penalty scored by James Jeffrey levelled it up before the break.

Steve McKimm’s Isthmian League South East side turned it up a notch early in the second half.

Freddie Parker put them back infront with a strike from the edge of the box before Michael Ademiluyi struck twice, with his pace causing Lordswood problems all night.

Matt Barman’s Southern Counties East side never gave up, with Jeffrey having a decent claim for another penalty turned down late on.

The three second half goals came during a devestating 20-minute spell which effectively settled the tie.

Herne Bay will play Redhill in the next round after easing to a 3-0 win over Bedfont Sports.

Kane Rowland was denied by the crossbar after just four minutes but got on the scoresheet before the break after Gil Carvalho’s overhead kick had put Steve Lovell’s side ahead.

Dan Carrington headed in a third from a corner after 57 minutes.

Erith Town were another SCEFL Premier Division side who could hold their heads high after defeat in their replay.

The Dockers lost 2-1 to Isthmian South East side Burgess Hill Town, the winning goal coming in the second half of extra-time.

Harry Taylor gave Erith an 18th minute lead but Town levelled immeditately through Dan
