Sun Sports made history on Saturday by reaching the second round of the FA Vase for the first time in their history, overcoming Harefield United 3-1.

Next up for Sun will be a home tie against Stanway Rovers, to be played on Saturday, November 22.

James Armstrong looked to have scored inside a minute for Sun, but saw his effort disallowed for offside.

Sun were lacking any punch or urgency and were made to pay for their slow start when Harefield took a 20th-minute lead.

After the break, half-time substitute Nathan Pooley quickly dragged Sun level with his first touch, firing past the helpless Harefield goalkeeper with aplomb.

Ashley Lewis then put Sun ahead for the first time, connecting with Simeon Fearon’s cut-back to score.

Substitute Marcel Jones carved out two good chances for Sun, who continued to pile on the pressure in search of a decisive third.

And the win was sealed when Lewis headed into Armstrong’s path and he subsequently finished coolly.

Sun’s eight-game winning streak came to an abrupt end as they exited the Herts Senior Cup 4-1 at the hands of Ware on Tuesday.

Ware will now meet Leverstock Green in the second round.

Craig Lynskey passed up an early opportunity to open the scoring, which had it gone in could have set a course for a different outcome all together, but the Isthmian Premier Division side took the lead with a bolt from the blue on the stroke of half time.

A second-half penalty put the hosts 2-0 ahead and from there on out, they were in control. A third followed, but Jones did pull one back for Paul Hobbs’ side.

The contest was killed off when Ware re-established their three-goal lead with a far-post tap-in.

Sun host Stotfold in the Premier Division tomorrow (Saturday), before travelling to Hillingdon Borough on Tuesday.
