Billericay crashed out of the FA Cup at Chesham on Saturday. With the scores level, it seemed as though the two sides would be meeting again at New Lodge until Leon Archer and Steve Wales took the match away from Billericay. Late goals have been the Blues' undoing on a number of occasions already this season with the equalisers conceded against Waltham Abbey and Hastings, and Hendon's late winner costing them five points. Had they held on in those three games, and on this occasion, then they would be sitting tenth in the league, and still in the FA Cup. As it is they are currently in the bottom four, and manager Brian Statham faces a massive task as he seeks to rebuild his side's shattered confidence.

Billericay's FA Cup dreams were shattered for another year as they lost to Sutton on Saturday. Town were left to wonder what might have been after they produced an encouraging opening half where they created a number of decent goal-scoring opportunities. The second half was a different matter however, as Sutton's greater strength in depth allowed them to make substitutions at the crucial moment to take the game away from Billericay. After going two goals behind, Town pulled one back through Dave Wareham, but any hopes of a memorable come-back were dashed as they were reduced to ten men and Sutton added a late third to put the result beyond doubt.
