Chesham United will play Bracknell Town in the second qualifying round of the FA Cup, after they defeated Peacehaven & Telscombe 5-2 at the Meadow.
The Generals took the lead through Jake Peck who scored one of the goals of the round.
The club’s number eight evaded two players before jogging up to the halfway line and lobbing the opposition keeper from nearly 50-yards on 26 minutes.

Ten minutes later, the away side equalised before Chesham regained their lead just three minutes afterward through Francis Jno-Baptiste.
The homeside then made it 3-1 seconds later thanks to a goal from Jaden Thompson-Brissett before Peacehaven pulled one back via a penalty on the stroke of half-time.
