A slow start sent Eynesbury Rovers out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 loss at Potton United while Godmanchester Rovers had to settle for a replay.

Potton were two-up inside 20 minutes and although Eynesbury had one back 10 minutes later, they couldn't find an equaliser, even when the hosts were reduced to 10 men for the final 18 minutes.


Chisam Amadi opened the scoring for Potton on five minutes, following up after Ibrahim Camara's effort was pushed away by Eynesbury keeper Josh Mollison.

An injury on 16 minutes to Jack Uttridge didn't help Rovers, although it did hand Tom Guiney a debut, and they fell further behind when Callum Wilson converted a free-kick from 25 yards.

Eynesbury did start to fight back though and five minutes after James Hatch had hit the angle of post and bar with a header, he was on hand to prod home from close range after Leon Lobjoit had his shot partially stopped.

Rovers dominated the opening 20 minutes of the second half but both Lobjoit and Joe Bradbury were off target with their best efforts.

They were given a boost when Liam Andrews was sent-off for Potton but it was the hosts who had the better chances and they who progress to the preliminary round.
