Highlights: Sheppey United 1 Walsall 4

By Ian Townsend

Finally, the FA Cup comes to an end for the valiant Ites


Commiserations to Sheppey United, who have had a magnificent run in the FA Cup but found League Two Walsall a giant too far on Friday night. A fine goal from James Bessey-Saldanha put the Ites ahead midway through the first half, but that just awoke the visitors, who levelled eleven minutes later and added three more after the break to complete a comfortable victory. Ites keeper Aiden Prall picked up the man of the match award.
