The FA Cup Road to Wembley stops at Moss Rose

Monday 09 Dec 2013
The Road to Wembley continued on Saturday at Moss Rose
The FA Cup Road to Wembley took TheFA.com’s Gary Stonehouse to Moss Rose, where two non-League sides put on a thrilling show of Cup football.

Our man went behind the scenes at Macclesfield Town v Brackley Town as the cash-strapped hosts got to grips with their upwardly mobile visitors with a place in the Third Round at stake.

The Silkmen stormed into a 2-0 lead but were forced to fight for their place in the Third Round as Brackley pegged them back to level with two second-half strikes.

But Jack Mackreth delivered a hammer-blow to Brackley's dreams of a replay with nine minutes remaining and sent Moss Rose into rapture.

Macclesfield will now play Sheffield Wednesday at home in The FA Cup Third Round

Take a look at part eight of the 2013/14 season’s Road to Wembley above.
