BROMSGROVE Rovers face an FA Cup second qualifying round replay at Nuneaton Borough's Liberty Way ground tomorrow night after the two sides' 1-1 draw at the Victoria Ground.
Visiting goalkeeper Darren Acton had to be alert as early as the first minute to deny Rovers hitman Jermaine Clarke.
Blue Square North outfit Boro responded with shots from Bradley Pritchard and Andy Brown going narrowly wide.
On the hour mark, Bromsgrove took the lead against their higher-graded opponents.
Sam Alsop made the most of a lucky bounce on the right flank to whip a ball into the box.
The wide man's centre picked out Clarke, who was unmarked in the area, and the former Redditch United striker headed powerfully past Acton.
The Rovers' fans' hopes of their side causing a cup shock lasted for just eight minutes, though, as Boro soon equalised.
Pritchard swung a free-kick into the box and Gavin Cowan met the ball with a sweet diving header that gave Boars keeper Karl Lewis no chance.
Lewis was then substituted after coming off worse in a clash with Brown.
Pritchard hit the bar late on with a header, but Rovers held on to secure a replay.
