Dom Di Paola’s men have sensationally been reinstated into the FA Cup over Barnsley fielding an ineligible player in their replay win in West Susses, and the Hornets will go to Sutton next weekend in the second round – playing for a prized spot in the third round among Premier League and Championship sides. They’re also still in the FA Trophy and Sussex Senior Cup.

But the Isthmian premier is their bread and butter and they picked up another valualbe point on the road when a Charlie Hester-Cook goal earned a 1-1 draw away to Concord Rangers.
