On Tuesday evening, F.A. Cup football comes to Park View Road as Erith and Belvedere entertain Raynes Park Vale in a Preliminary Round replay.

When they met on Saturday, they contested a feisty affair with plenty of card brandished including an early red card for the hosts’ Nathan Lewis.

Tunde Aderonmu put the Deres ahead six minutes before the break.

Rory Ward might have settled the tie with three minutes remaining, but his drive hit the underside of the bar and came out and Erith were made to pay for it in the third minute of stoppage time.

Dan Moody struck an unstoppable shot from twenty yards when a corner wasn’t cleared.

Josh Gallagher’s Surrey based team ply their trade in the Combined Counties League Premier Division South and finished third behind Beckenham Town and Walton and Hersham last season.

They are let to start the league campaign for 2022-23.

The Deres have played one league game in the Southern Counties East Football League Premier Division and Tony Beckingham’s team claimed a one-nil win at Lordswood, courtesy of a late winner by Ward.

It promises to be another tight match with the reward for the victors being a home tie with Isthmian League South team, Hythe Town.
