It has been a great week for Sun Sports after they created a little piece of history by defeating Biggleswade Town 5-4 on penalties in the FA Vase following a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night.

The second round tie had to be replayed after Saturday’s initial tie had ended in the same scoreline.

George Hobson was the man to open the scoring for Sports but Biggleswade found the equaliser just before the hour mark.

Sports went down to 10 men but they were the ones to emerge victorious and progressed into the third round for the first time in the club’s history.

Their reward is a tie at home against fellow Spartan South Midlands Premier Division side Hoddesdon Town on Saturday, December 3.

Sun travelled to Biggleswade at the weekend and once again were the team to gain the first goal.

Dom David found Gary Wallace unmarked at the near post and his header found the back of the net after a period of pressure from the visitors.

Sun should have made it 2-0 after Damien Cruickshank crossed into the six-yard box but no one was there to meet the ball.

Biggleswade did not give in and immediately put the pressure on Sun from the off in the second half.

Sun had the first real attempt on goal when Andy Brennan was given space to put in a looping shot which was tipped over the bar by the keeper.

But United’s pressure paid off when a free-kick was floated into the area and a forward headed in the equaliser.

Matty Evans kept his side in the tie at the death, making a vital save to prevent United from scoring the winner.

But it was Sun who should have had the last hurrah in extra-time as Wallace headed a corner goalbound. This was deflected by the keeper and the ball had to be cleared off the line by a defender.

Oxhey Jets fell to a 4-1 defeat to Hertford Town on Tuesday night after finding their rhythm against Leighton Town on Saturday.

A hat-trick from Tommy Wade helped condemn Jets to the loss in the Premier Division.

Nathan Pooley had opened the scoring after 15 minutes but it was to be all downhill for Oxhey after that.

The Jets found their drive in their 5-3 victory over Leighton Town on Saturday at home to end a bad run of results.

Before the match both sides laid poppies along with a Jets blue and white wreath, and a minute’s silence was held to honor those lost in conflict.

It took Jets only three minutes to grab the lead when a corner was headed on by Sim Armstrong, who netted via a deflection.

But the visitors responded quickly after the Jets defence was left exposed and a Town forward calmly slotted the ball home.

Armstrong scored his second from the penalty spot after Adam Lowton was brought down in the box by the keeper.

An own goal doubled Jets advantage and they added a fourth just before half-time as Armstrong completed his hat-trick from 25 yards out.

Leighton threatened a fight back after Lowton converted another opportunity to make it 5-1. They scored two goals in as many minutes to cut the deficit to 5-3 late on.
