Sidmouth Town and Street played out a cagey FA Cup extra preliminary round tie on 8 August 2026, with the teams unable to be separated in a goalless draw. The match left the tie evenly poised, ensuring the clubs will meet again for the right to continue their Cup journey.

Full-time: Sidmouth Town 0-0 Street

At a sunny Sidmouth, the home team began with a lively intent, showing why they could not be underestimated. They moved the ball quickly through midfield and won a number of set pieces in promising positions. Street, though, were fully prepared for the challenge and responded with a compact block that made penetration difficult.

The first half lacked a clear highlight, but the visitors looked increasingly threatening as the interval neared. A well-executed free-kick from Street forced the Sidmouth Town keeper into a sharp save, a reminder that patience would be required in this contest.

Tense second half and missed moments

After the restart, Sidmouth Town pushed up in search of the opening goal. Their best chance came on the hour mark when a low cross was met by a first-time shot from close range, only for the visiting goalkeeper to save brilliantly with his legs. The resulting rebound was somehow put over an open goal, prompting groans around the ground.

Street, to their credit, remained dangerous on the break and could have stolen the tie late on. A swift counter-attack ended with a shot that rattled the upright, meaning both teams went home with reasons to feel unlucky.
