Leyton Orient 1 Margate 1

WHAT a plum draw! Margate will play either Cardiff or Tranmere at home if they win their FA Cup first round replay against Orient at Crabble on Tuesday, November 26.

An equaliser by John Keister three minutes before half-time earned the Kent club a replay in Saturday's tie in east London.

Margate goalkeeper Charlie Mitten was the main hero of the match. He pulled off a number of superb saves, especially to deny Orient's Scott Canham.

The Londoners went in front after 25 minutes when Kevin Nugent set up John Martin to net with a low drive from 25 yards.
