BRACKNELL TOWN FC produced a performance to be proud of in their FA Cup first-round tie against Ipswich Town.
With 105 places separating the two teams in the football pyramid, Bracknell had their sights on producing a huge FA Cup shock.
In front of a sold out crowd at Bottom Meadow, the Robins more than held their own in a first-half contest that saw the teams go in level at the break without the deadlock being broken.
Bracknell had chances of their own and had their goalkeeper, Michael Eacott, to thank after he made sevaral impressive saves.
Having made numerous important defensive interventions throughout the game, Bracknell captain Daniel Bayliss was unfortunate to turn the ball into his own net as Ipswich opened the scoring with forwards lurking to convert the cross had he not got a touch.
The League One outfit added two more goals through Freddie Ladapo and Panutche Camara to safely see them through to the next round.
“Well our journey has ended, a huge thank you first to everybody that worked tirelessly to stage the game last night (Monday),” said Bracknell town joint manager Carl Withers.
“The messages of support has been incredible and I hope the boys have done you all proud and we truly thank you all for your support.”
Jamie McClurg added: “Proud and honoured to praise each and every one of our Bracknell Town lads. A true credit to the incredible support which never stopped. What a group of people and we go again.”
