Highlights: Billericay Town 1-3 Leatherhead

Leatherhead beat big-spending Isthmian Premier League rivals Billericay Town to reach the second round of the FA Cup for the first time since 1978.

Jack Midson's brace and a late goal from Sammy Moore handed the Tanners victory in their first-round replay after Adam Cunnington had opened the scoring.

Billericay took the lead on the hour as Louis Theophanous slid through Jake Robinson, who held his run and squared for Cunnington to bundle home from close range.

Leatherhead's D'Sean Theobalds and Lee Minshull came close before a deserved equaliser arrived in the 68th minute as pinball in the penalty area ended with Midson heading in at the far post.

The visitors took the lead in the 82nd minute as Rob Swaine picked up a second yellow card for a foul in the area and Midson made no mistake from the penalty spot.

Tanners player-manager Moore had the last laugh - having rejected a move to Town earlier in the season - firing home a low effort in injury time to set up a second-round clash at Wycombe.
