Two players were sent off and goalkeeper Ross Standen twice saved a re-taken penalty as Ringmer fought out a 1-1 draw with Erith Town.

Ringmer manager John Crumplin was left shaking his head after Standen, who takes penalties for Ringmer, saved from his opposite number after the referee ordered a re-take for encroachment following the Kent side's first failure from the spot.

Crumplin said: "The referee did not have a very good game. He sent two off, booked about six and it was not even a dirty game. It was just an FA Cup battle."

The replay is tonight in Kent although Crumplin, who got married yesterday, added: "I didn't really want us to have to go back there. It is okay for me as I am getting married in Kent and can go straight there but it is a pain for the other lads."

Glen Davies levelled for Ringmer after Erith had gone ahead but was later sent off for a second bookable offence.

Erith had a player sent off in a separate incident.

Carl Rook put United in front from Russell Eldridge's cross and Jon Wallis strode through to make it 2-0 in the second half.

Lovell added: "It was a potential banana skin but we got through comfortably and I'm hoping for a good draw today in the next round."
