Stourport Swifts 2 Bromsgrove Sporting 2 - AET

SPORTING were denied a place in the FA Vase second qualifying round by a late Swifts leveller at Walshes Meadow.

The Rouslers are set for a replay at the Victoria Ground tomorrow night (7.45pm ko) against their Worcestershire rivals after Calvin Dinsley scored a last gasp penalty on Saturday.

Bromsgrove started brightly, and were ahead after four minutes when a poor shot from Sam Wills rolled over keeper Brendon Bunn's shin and trickled into the net behind him.

Gary Hay nearly added a second when he got the better of Michael Briscoe but fired a fraction wide.

Stourport began to boss the game in the midfield and they made it 1-1 when Lewis Pountney rose and powerfully headed home.

A well struck free-kick by Michael McGrath from 30 yards called Bromsgrove keeper Jake Bedford in action.

There was yet more drama before half-time when Sporting were awarded two penalties.

The first for a foul on Hay by Kevin Spencer but Simon Fitter hit the bar.

The second was awarded just before half-time for a similar foul, again by Spencer but this time on Wills.

The Stourport players surrounded referee Phillip Lindsey, claiming Wills had in fact pulled down Spencer, but they were waved away.

Wills sent Bunn the wrong way to make it 2-1 to Sporting at half-time.

Stourport continued to create chances in a stretched second half, including a free kick from substitute Dinsley which deflected off Pountney and was neatly saved by Bedford.

Sporting now had their backs against the wall and just after Swifts had hit the post, referee Lindsey awarded a penalty for an alleged push in the area.

Dinsley struck the spot kick past Bedford to force the game into extra-time.

Sporting substitute Jozsef Jakab saw his shot trickle past the post after a neat knock down from Hay and Will Tibbetts looked lively on the right wing but neither Sporting or Swifts could find a winner.
