### Littlehampton Town 2-3 Raynes Park Vale: Late Drama Sees Vale Progress in FA Trophy Littlehampton Town’s FA Trophy journey came to a heart-wrenching end on Friday night, as Raynes Park Vale produced a spirited comeback to win 3-2 at a rain-soaked Sportsfield. The non-league cup tie, which kicked off at 02:45 BST, was a pulsating encounter full of momentum swings, and it was the visitors from South West London who held their nerve in the closing stages to book their place in the next round. #### A Fast Start from the Golds Littlehampton, playing in front of a vocal home support, looked sharp from the off. Their high press forced Vale into early errors, and it came as little surprise when the hosts took the lead inside the opening 20 minutes. A well-worked move down the right flank ended with a low cross being turned home at the near post, sending the home faithful into raptures. The Golds doubled their advantage just before the half-hour mark when a speculative effort from the edge of the box took a decisive deflection, wrong-footing the Vale goalkeeper and nestling into the far corner. At 2-0, Littlehampton appeared to be in complete control. Raynes Park Vale, though, are a side built on resilience, and they pulled a goal back just before the interval. A corner kick was only half-cleared, and the Vale forward reacted quickest to poke the ball over the line from close range, halving the deficit and giving his side a lifeline. #### Second-Half Revival The second period belonged to Raynes Park Vale. With the wind now at their backs, they pushed higher up the pitch and began to dominate possession. Littlehampton dropped deeper, looking to protect their slender advantage, but the pressure became relentless. The equaliser arrived on 67 minutes when a sharp passing move carved open the home defence, allowing the Vale striker to slot calmly under the advancing goalkeeper. With the scores level, the game opened up. Both teams had chances to win it, but it was Raynes Park Vale who found the decisive moment. In the 82nd minute, a swift counter-attack caught Littlehampton stretched, and the substitute winger applied a composed finish from a tight angle to complete the comeback and spark wild celebrations in the away end. #### Key Moments and Standout Performers The match turned on two key moments: the Vale goal just before half-time, which shifted momentum, and the winning goal eight minutes from time, which punished Littlehampton’s failure to see the game out. For Raynes Park Vale, their never-say-die attitude was epitomised by their central midfielder, who covered every blade of grass and drove his team forward in the second half. Littlehampton’s front man also impressed, holding the ball up well and causing problems with his movement throughout. #### FA Trophy Hopes For Littlehampton Town, this was a bitter pill to swallow. They had led 2-0 against a side from a higher tier of the non-league pyramid and failed to close out the win. For Raynes Park Vale, the victory keeps their cup dream alive and provides a significant confidence boost as they turn their attention back to league matters. The result sees Vale progress to the next round of the FA Trophy, while Littlehampton must now focus purely on their domestic campaign.
