FINAL SCORE - GULLS 1-0 R&D

Free kick to Torquay wide on the left. Danny Stevens swings it in but it goes behind.
Rushden break down to the other end there's a horrible scramble. Benyon breaks and slips the ball to stevens, but Hillard robs him.
And that's it. The final whistle goes and it's a thorough job done, if not a terribly convincing one. The next round is on January 31, and the draw's on Monday.
The Rushden officials are arguing the toss with Mr Melin as he leaves the field, presumably about the goal. We'll find out later on when their boss gives his radio interviews.

The attendance is 1,728, which in the circumstances is pretty good.
And the sponsors have selected Scott Bevan as their man of the match. Nominations in the nice warm box here also include Hargreaves, Wroe and Hodges, who has been quietly excellent yet again.
We are in the 90th minute, and the fourth official has indicated five added minutes, presumably for Dsane's injury.
Tyrone Thompson replaces Matt Green in our third and last change.

Bevan saves from Rankine in the 82nd minute, and Tomlin shoots high and wide. How many chances is this man going to have?
The Gulls have a corner on the right in the 84th minute. Nicko takes it and Roberts punches clear.
Roberts saves well from Benyon, although the fans think we should have had a free kick for a foul on Benyon seconds before.
Rankine heads wide at the near post in the 85th minute. That was point-blank range, and he should have scored.

The linesman gives us a free kick right on the edge of the box after a foul on Carlisle.
Plummer is going off after a promising debut to be replaced by Danny Stevens. And the first thing Danny does is to beat his marker and send in another low cross from the left which is cleared off the line.

A great save by Roberts in the 75th minute, tipping a 30-yarder from Lee Mansell over his bar.
And a good save by Bevan at the other end as danger man Tomlin closes in from the right and unleashes a powerful shot from a narrow angle.

Benyone blazes a shot over in the 73rd minute. His speed and awareness have given us a new dimension since he came on.
Hargreaves is having a mighty game again, and if the goal is credited to the skipper, it's a just reward.

GOAL - GULLS 1-0 R&D

Chris Hargreaves claims it, but it's hard to describe how that went in. Better wait for the Captain's Blog!
Wroe found Plummer on the left, Plummer went round his full back and sent in a low cross, and that's where it gets confusing. Hargreaves slid in and seemed to get the ball trapped under him. Then it was in, with Hargreaves and Carlisle both celebrating and a skirmish on the line including a number of disgruntled Rushden players.
