Slough Town 3, Enfield Town 

Slough are through to the first round of the FA Cup thanks to a late goal from Jaiden Drakes-Thomas! '


92' GOAL!!!!!! Slough Town lead in injury time. Jaiden Drakes-Thomas drills the ball home from the edge of the area after Enfield failed to clear their lines 3-2


90' Myers forces a solid save from Forster! Decent effort that. 2-2 


90' There will be a minimum of six added minutes. 2-2 


83' POST! Enfield strike the foot of the post through sub Bayley Brown. It was Jones again who put in another dangerous low ball from the right. That was a let off for the Rebels. 

The Rebels then countered and had a chance through Jared Myers but his effort was blocked and Enfield clear. 2-2


81' Ollie Knight is replaced by Bayley Brown for Enfield


81' Into the final 10 minutes. It feels like there will be a winner here today, but which way will it go? 2-2 


79' Tyrique Clarke whips a shot wide of the post from the edge of the box. It looked closer than it was I think 2-2 


77' Jones sends over another dangerous cross to the back post, but Sam Youngs was stretching for it and couldn't direct his header on target. 2-2 


74' Lamar Reynolds is replaced by Harry Lodovica. 2-2 


68' GOAL! Slough hit back once again. Makowski gets in behind the Enfield back line and manages to hold off the challenge of Adam Thompson and then smashes the ball beyond Forster! 2-2 


67' Myers finds a bit of space on the right and sends in a low ball that former Slough keeper Rhys Forster picks up. 


64' Makowski loops a header over the bar from Dan Roth's ball in from the left. Before that Drakes-Thomas was  denied by the Enfield keeper after being played in by Myers on the left. 1-2


60' Josh Adepoju is replaced by Jaiden Drakes-Thomas for Slough. 1-2 


58' Slough break well through Adepoju and Clarke, who slips a nice pass through for Makowski, but the striker can't get onto it. 1-2 


56' Enfield have defended well in the early stages of the second half. Slough looking short of ideas so far this half. 1-2


53' Enfield send the ball into the area once again and Sam Youngs rises well but can't quite direct his header on target. 1-2


50' Substitute Jared Myers forces a corner for the hosts. Goddard sends it into the box before Davies chances his arm from outside the area but the Enfield keeper was able to read his intentions and claim the ball. 1-2


48' Johnny Goddard with a weak left footed effort from the edge of the box for Slough. 


Back underway at Arbour Park. The Rebels looking to chase down Enfield's lead. 1-2


Slough Town 1, Enfield Town 2

That was a crazy half of football. Slough Town could have found themselves 3-0 down after Ollie Knight fired the visitors into the lead in the first minute. The Rebels grew into the game and deservedly equalised through Ruben Bartlett-Antwi, but momentum swung back the visitors way in the final minutes of the half. First Ochieng and Bartlett-Antwi were forced off with injuries before Hawkins rose at the back post to head Town back in front. All to play for still but you feel Enfield have the edge now against a heavily depleted home side. 


Seven minutes of stoppage time here at Arbour Park. 1-2


45' GOAL Enfield! Henry Hawkins rises well at the far post to head home Adam-Malaki's right wing corner. It's been an awful few minutes for the Rebels. They lost Ochieng and Bartlett-Antwi to injury and then saw Hawkins head Enfield back in front! 1-2


42' More injury disruption for the Rebels. Ruben Bartlett-Antwi is replaced by Jared Myers. 


40' Henry Ochieng comes off with an injury. Looks to be his shoulder. He's replaced by Brian Nelson. Blow for the Rebels 1-1 


Today's attendance at Arbour Park is 1,207


36' Enfield's Lamar Reynolds again does well to beat his man on the right and he lifts the ball over Webber and onto the crossbar. 1-1


28' GOAL! SLOUGH TOWN! Ruben Bartlett-Antwi heads home Slough's leveller from close range after Johnny Goddard hit the crossbar! 1-1

Wiktor Makowski initially ran through on goal. His low shot was saved. The ball rebounded for Goddard who clipped the ball onto the crossbar and it bounced back kindly for Bartlett-Antwi to score. 


25' Finally, some really good attacking play from the Rebels. Gidaree and Clarke combine well down the right to feed Makowski, who doesn't really get hold of his shot or cross and the chance goes begging! 0-1 


23' Tarik Gidaree - who scored twice last week in the Rebels'3-2 win at Hampton - bursts into the area and goes down, appealing for a penalty, but it would have been very soft in my opinion. 0-1


17' Avan Jones again causing problems for the Rebels defence. He bursts down the right off the back of a brilliant first  touch but his pull back is cut out. 0-1 


13' Slough are somewhat fortunate not to be two or three goals down here. They've been caught out several times in defence and will need to show more defensive resilience if they're to get back into this. 0-1 


12' POST! The visitors come close to a second with a curling low effort from Lamar Reynolds that bounces off the foot of the post. A minute or so later Reynolds' goal bound volley was blocked by Scott Davies! 0-1 


9' Wiktor Makowski does well to get past his man in the area and pulls the ball back, but Enfield are able to block the ball and clear. Seconds later, the Rebels play in Ruben Bartlett-Antwi but he drags his shot wide. 0-1


8' Oliver Webber in the Slough goal has been much the busier of the two keepers so far. Slough haven't dealt well with the long throws into their box from Adam-Malaki. This one was flicked to the back post where Webber was able to save under pressure. 0-1 


7' A short break in play while Ochieng receives treatment for Slough. Looks like he's going to be fine to carry on. 0-1


3' Slough responded with an effort narrowly off target from their captain Henry Ochieng! 

A frenetic start to the game here. 


1' GOAL! Enfield take an early lead through Ollie Knight's header! Unbelievable! 0-1

It was Avan Jones who lifted the early ball through and Knight took advantage of some hesitancy in the Rebels defence to head home 


The mascots have waved the flags, the players are out on the field and this final qualifying round tie is about to get underway! 


Here's how the Rebels got on in their last league game at Hampton & Richmond Borough. A decent result away from home heading into this fixture


Today's teams are as follows: 


Both teams have been out warming up in glorious early autumn conditions. 


Welcome to Arbour Park where Slough Town take on league rivals Enfield Town for a place in the first round of the FA Cup. 

The carrot for both of these teams is a draw against an EFL side in the next round. 

They've had very similar starts to the season in terms of form and played out an interesting 1-1 draw here at Arbour Park earlier in the campaign. Enfield took the lead in the first half and Slough needed a 98th minute equaliser from Peter Ojemen to earn a draw. 

So this tie feels like it's very much in the balance
