Kirby delighted to force replay

Harlow boss Ryan Kirby was delighted with his team's draw at St Albans in the FA Cup second qualifying round.

The Ryman Premier Division side drew 0-0 with the Conference South outfit to force a home replay on Tuesday night.

Player-manager Kirby told BBC Essex: "The onus is on us now to try and drive at St Albans and cause an upset.

"We've got to be as committed and as organised and work just as hard and hopefully being at home we will create more chances from early on."

Despite matching their higher-league opposition for most of the game, Kirby felt the draw was a fair result.

"I don't feel disappointed because we were in the game throughout," said the defender.

"Sometimes you walk away and feel you could have nicked that one, but they were still working hard and it was a very even game.

"So obviously everything now goes down to Tuesday night."

The Hawks are currently 12th in the Ryman Premier League, having been promoted last season.
