FA Trophy gallery: Hastings United edge out Bognor Regis Town on penalties

It took penalties to separate Hastings United and Bognor Regis Town when the two Sussex sides met at the Pilot Field in the second qualifying round of the FA Trophy.

Ronnie Dolan’s team opened the scoring midway through the first half through Warren Mfula after a nice set-up by Callum Erskine. But Jake Cope continued his fine scoring start to the season for Danny Hollands’ Rocks with an equaliser 10 minutes into the second half.

That was the way it stayed and Hastings won the shootout 6-5 to go through to the third qualifying round, scheduled for September 26.
