Buckland Athletic left it very late to book their place in the next round of the Emirates FA Cup after a dramatic 2-1 victory at St Blazey.
Travelling to fellow Western League outfit St Blazey, the Bucks fell behind midway through the first half, when goalkeeper Jordan Duffey made a fine save but the rebound was tapped in from close range.
Rafa Beadman headed narrowly wide for the Newton Abbot club on the half-hour but they would have to wait until 65 minutes for the leveller, when a clever pass threaded into the path of Jake Lane, who slotted a confident finish into the corner.
A midweek replay at Homers Heath was moments away but Buckland had one final twist, as a corner from Luke Forward picked out the rising Scott Pocock for a fine header looped into the top corner.
Buckland Athletic will visit Exmouth Town in the next round on Saturday, August 16.
Brixham AFC will have to endure the stress of a replay at Wall Park after surrendering a 2-0 lead at Street. Finn Newell scored twice in a dominant first period for the Fishermen but Street hit back before the break, and then equalised with seconds left on the clock.
