Strong second-half show secures an FA Cup second round spot for Solihull
Posted Sunday, November 03, 2024 by PA
Solihull Moors claimed a place in the second round of the FA Cup with a 3-0 victory in their all non-League clash with Maidstone on Saturday.
James Clarke put the National League side ahead against their sixth-tier opponents when he pounced in the box following a double save from Alexis Andre Jr after 49 minutes at the ARMCO Arena.
Jack Stevens made victory certain when he converted from the penalty spot in the 88th minute after being fouled and Conor Wilkinson added a third in stoppage time.
Maidstone had gone close late in the first half when George Fowler shot over but Solihull also had good chances before the break through Stevens and Alex Whitmore.
Clarke followed up the opening goal with a good block to deny Reiss Greenidge an equaliser and Solihull went on to finish strongly.
