FA Trophy preliminary round replay
Yate Town 2 Fleet Town 1
YATE TOWN are through to the FA Trophy first round where they will meet Portsmouth club Moneyfields FC at Lodge Road later this month.
The Bluebells came from behind to secure their place against Moneyfields after going down 1-0 to Fleet Town at half-time on Tuesday night when Gilberto Abril put the ball into the home net.
The sides had drawn 1-1 at Fleet on Saturday but Yate showed fighting spirit to hit back from going behind in the replay.
Just before the hour, striker Ben Brooks rifled the ball into the Fleet net to equalise.
And on 79 minutes, Bristol Rovers loanee Lewis Leigh Gilchrist popped up to get the winner and send the Bluebells into the next round.
