FA Cup first qualifying round replays: Chasetown, Halesowen and Sporting Khalsa progress
Chasetown staged a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory in extra-time against Worcester City in their FA Cup first qualifying round replay at the Scholars Ground.
Kyle Lang pounced on a rebound to fire Chasetown ahead on the half-hour mark, before Liam Lockett equalised for Worcester City on 57 minutes to force extra-time.
Felix Miles put Worcester City ahead from the penalty spot two minutes into extra-time but Chasetown kick-started a memorable comeback when Joe Thomson levelled in the 102nd-minute.
Assistant coach Jamie Hawkins was sent off for the hosts in the aftermath, but Chasetown booked a home tie against Banbury United in the next round when Lang bagged his brace with a winning spot-kick.
Halesowen eased to a 3-0 win at Stratford Town in their replay and will travel to Grimsby Borough for the next phase.
Jason Cowley applied a cool finish past Stratford goalkeeper Jacob Weaver to give Halesowen the lead inside the first 10 minutes.
The Yeltz doubled their advantage within two minutes of the restart when Todd Parker powered home after Cowley turned provider.
Jack Hickman made it 3-0 nine minutes later with Cowley at the thick of the action once again. His effort deflected into the path of Hickman who fired into an empty net.
Substitute Jim Kellerman came close to adding a fourth when he planted his header wide from Kyle Finn's cross.
Sporting Khalsa also confirmed their passage into the second qualifying round with a 2-0 home win against Boston Town.
Club captain Kristian Green opened the scoring midway into the second half, before Chay Tilt put the seal on the win with a second late on.
Khalsa will be looking to progress to the third qualifying round for the first time in a decade when they play host to National League North outfit Hereford on September 13.
Sutton Coldfield Town will be the next destination for Stourbridge in the FA Cup, after they beat Abbey Hulton 5-4 on penalties at the end of a 2-2 draw.
Stourbridge reached the next round over the weekend after winning 2-0 at Hanley.
Meanwhile, Kidderminster Harriers rose to fourth in the National League North table after a 1-0 victory at King's Lynn Town, with Emeka Obi getting the only goal of the game in the first half.
