Despite taking the lead, Main’s interest in the FA cup was ended at the first hurdle by local neighbours Dinnington Town.
Oliver Schofield replaced the injured Liam Richardson in the Main goal but otherwise the starting line-up was the same as the previous Tuesday against Hallam. James Mitchellreturned on the bench with Danny Reilly and Paul Turner
.In front of a large crowd and plenty of media interest, Main had the first chance in the fourth minute when Ashley Longstaff headed wide from Liam Kay’s long throw-in.
Town’s Ant Lynam had a shot blocked for a corner by defender Paul Staniforth and Scott Riley got in a good tackle to deny Lynam and Danny Mullooley cleared Ben Rosser’s close range header out for a corner following Andy Sykes’ free kick into the box.
Main opened the scoring on the half-hour, Ashley Longstaff smashing in a volley from twelve yards following Riley’s flick-on from Kay’s free kick from the right.
Kay shot wide after Jon Wragg hesitated on a long ball forward but Town finished the half strongly with Schofield saving a long range Lynam free kick and Lynam shooting wide with a thirty yard effort.
Mike Blythan hit a ten yard shot over the bar before, two minutes after the break Lynam shot over.
Thirteen minutes later Blythan had a shot deflected for a corner.
Town’s equaliser came on 70 minutes, substitute Kieran Gallager’s shot from ten yards beat Schofield and crashed-in off the underside of the bar.
A minute later Town took the lead when Lynam hit a low shot from the edge of the box past Schofield into the bottom corner of the net.
Main striker Longstaff had a late header from substitute Greg Archer’s cross saved but Town held on to book their place in the next round .
