Plymouth Parkway booked their place in the next FA Cup round with a 2-1 come-from-behind win against Horsham. The third qualifying round tie at Bolitho Park on Saturday was settled by two quick second-half goals from the hosts.
Horsham went ahead before the interval thanks to a strike from Ronan Silva, his first for the club. The visitors missed two glaring opportunities to double their lead prior to half-time. Plymouth Parkway's response after the break was swift and decisive, netting twice to complete the turnaround.
For Horsham, it is a case of history repeating, as they bowed out at this exact stage for the second consecutive year after leading at half-time. They suffered an identical fate against Folkestone Invicta last season.
Match reporter Eddie Hufford documented the events. "Read on for Eddie Hufford’s account of proceedings at Bolitho Park," Hufford said.
