HORSHAM are through to the Fourth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup following today's 2-1 win against Paulton Rovers.

Jacob Mingle put the Hornets 1-0 up in the first half which the home side dominated, and debutant Jean Michel Sigere made it two from the penalty spot.

The Hornets were comfortable until two minutes from time when Ben Cleverly clipped home a neat free kick to leave the hosts rocking - but some sturdy defence from Horsham made sure of the result as Paulton threw everything at them.

After the goal Paulton have three corners in a row, and farrell sees his effort sneak past the post at the other end.


89 mins: GOAL. Ben Cleverly bends in a free kick and Horsham are going to endure a very worrying last few moments here.

84 mins: A disturbing sight for Horsham fans as Sigere limps off in some discomfort, to be replaced by Lee Farrell.

82 mins: Horsham sub. Lee Carney off, Michael Dale on.

82 mins: Dan Cleverly shoots just wide as Paulton pile forward.

76 mins: Haddow clears Ollie Price's header off the line - there could still be life in this tie yet.

72 mins GOAL. Paulton Sub Ricky Hulbert handles Alex Haddow's cross in the box, and Jean Michel Sigere steps up to sneak the spot kick underneath the keeper. A goal on his second Horsham debut.

68 mins: French collects Mark Knee's clearing header, but it's an easy save for Seuke. A little warning for the hosts though.

Paulton are still showing plenty of adventure, and in Cleverly they have a man capable of unlocking many a defence.

63 mins: Chris Lane has a but of space on the edge of the box, but pulls his shot wide.

61 mins: Archibald's header sets up Sigere, who can't quite get the ball out of his feet and gets a weak shot away.

59 mins: It's been very flat so far this half, but Alex Haddow's bone crunching tackle on Cleverly might raise the tempo.

The Hornets have perhaps been a little guilty of being a little casual in their own half, with Palton forwards snapping at their heels.

We apologise for the lack of updates at the start of the second half, hopefully the glitch has been sorted out - don't worry, all you've missed are a couple of Horsham corners which have come to nothing.

JACOB Mingle's header has given Horsham a 1-0 lead at half time in their FA Cup Third Qualifying Round tie with Paulton Rovers today.

Along with Lee Carney, Mingle has pulled the strings in midfield for the Hornets, who have seen chances flow after a shaky first ten minutes.

The offside flag denied Rob Claridge after just 120 seconds, but with new boy Jean Michel Sigere displaying his class up front, Horsham have shone.

An injury to Archibald brings an end to some of the best football Horsham have played in weeks, barnstorming stuff.

39 mins: Archibald goes so close to making it two, but Phillips produces an excellent full length stop.

37 mins: GOAL. Jacob Mingle rises well at the far post to nod in Alex Haddow's dinked cross.

34 mins: Booking.Mark Knee has looked the part at left back, but goes in the book this time for a late foot in.

30 mins: Ollie Price tests Seuke with a header from Cleverly's corner, it was a nice height though.

For all their territory, Horsham have played a dangerous game at the back - and have looked close to coming unstuck.

26 mins: Evan Archibald's daisy cutter is well held and it's all Horsham at the moment.

25 mins: Lee Carney tees up Jack Page for an effort from 18 yards, but he curls it miles over.

23 mins: Lee Carey's cross is met by Jean Michel Sigere and the left footed toe poke is just tipped over by Kyle Phillips.

21 mins: Howard just fails to get on to a ball to the far post, that's Horsham's best chance so far.

20 mins: Booking. Paulton's Jon French sees yellow for clattering jacob Mingle from behind.

The Hornets have been disappointing from set pieces so far, two free kicks and a corner in dangerous positions have been wasted.

15 mins: THe dangerous Ben Cleverly picks out Claridge who heads wide, and that was a creative bit of football from the visitors.

13 mins: Paulton's Jon French is presented with a half chance when Andy Howards half clears, but makes a mess of it.

10 mins: Horsham almost unlock the visiting defence with a sumptuous passing move which started with Paul Seuke - the signs are encouraging for Hornets fans.

Horsham are really trying to get their passing game going, they have looked particuarly goos when feeding the ball through Jacob Mingle.

Paulton appear very tidy and very much up for this cup tie.

2 mins: early scare for the hosts, Rob Claridge thought he had volleyed his side in front, but the offside flag denied him.

COULD the FA Cup be Horsham's saviour as they seek relief from their poor league run?

The Hornets are boosted by the addition of new arrival Jean-Michel Sigere, who starts up front alongside Evan Archibald.

Paulton, having travelled up from near Bristol arrived just 20 minutes before kick off, so there is a delay to the naming of the teams and kick off has been put back for a few minutes.
