Southern League side Halesowen Town cause an FA Trophy upset against National League opponents Barnet on Saturday afternoon.
They had been on course to lose, but a sudden late equaliser came minutes remaining, before a later winner in extra was found by the Yeltz.

The first goal of the game came on the 65th minute when the ball was whipped along the six-yard box and Barnet’s Josh Walker turned home from close range.
The away supporters were singing non stop all game and were able to celebrate with five minutes of the 90 remaining when Luke Yates headed in.
Extra time it was and after a goalless first half, Simeon Cobourne tapped in from close range to give the visitors the winner, before then being subbed off with minutes remaining.

Negatives: We’re out and one less chance at Wembley.
Positives: Focus on the League and get done what we set off to do which was to get promoted this season. ??— Charlie Sears ? (@CharcharSears) February 29, 2020
Congrats to @halesowentownfc They are having a hell of a season and this is just another game to add to it. Good luck in the next round.
On a more serious note, the bigger cost today might be the loss of Sim. #Playoffs was our priority and while this is a blow, they are decent.

As gutted as I am & trust me I am upset, we now have 14 (I think) games left and are 5 points off the playoffs. We have no choice but to give it everything as we still have a great chance to make it. COYB, heads up??

I'm sorry no excuses that's absolutely awful. No disrespect to them but they're part timers and 4 leagues below us. Well done to them they deserve that clearly. Terrible from us with near enough a full strength side. Fucking gutted.
