FA Cup 1st Round Qualifying
Earlsmead. Att: 219.
Southern League side St Albans City move through to the 2nd Qualifying Round after disposing of struggling Isthmian League outfit Harrow Borough at a sun-kissed Earlsmead.
Barry Hayles, from a perfect Sean Shields cross, headed the Saints in front and added a second from Lewis Toomey's precise pass.
Harrow just about stayed in contention when Toomey, already the scorer of six goals this season, blazed a penalty over the home goal, but City secured their passage into the next round with a excellent finish by Shield following good work by lively substitute Chris Henry.
Harrow piled on some pressure late in the day and reduced the deficit through former Saint Joakim Ehui.
