Didcot Town are the first team through to The FA Cup with Budweiser Third Round Qualifying after a 3-1 win at home to Clevedon Town.

A three-goal flourish in ten second half minutes against their Southern League Division One South & West rivals earned the Railwaymen a place in Monday's draw

The Oxfordshire side, who are coached by former Fulham and Wimbledon defender Gary Elkins, came from behind to triumph in front of a crowd of 190 at the NPower Loop Meadow Stadium.

Jack Flurry gave Clevedon the lead in the 24th minute, and the visitors held on until just past the hour mark, when James Clark levelled for the hosts.

Clark grabbed his second of the evening from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute to put his side in front, and midfielder Elliott Osborne-Ricketts sealed the result 13 minutes from time.

For Didcot this equals this best ever performance in The FA Cup, having previously reached the Third Round Qualifying in 2010-11.
