    live blog: Slough Town vs Maidenhead United

    90' Four minutes added time and the ball is deep in Maidenhead's half. 2-1

    89' Dan Roth replaces Ogbonna. 

    87' Maidenhead bring on Barratt for Nathan Ferguson, and Slough are bringing on Sam Evans for Spasov. 2-1

    83' Spasov sees a shot in the area blocked by Maidenhead defenders. 2-1

    81' Great chance for Slough to wrap up this tie. They get the ball through to Gilbert who is in on goal but he sidefoots wide. 2-1

    80' Ten minutes to go. Maidenhead still pressing but they're not being helped by the conditions which are getting a bit ridiculous. Smith has just whipped in another cross that flew past Horlock's post. 2-1

    72' Johnny Goddard replaces Francis Amartey for Slough 

    71' Smith has a go from outside the area after a Magpies break. But it's a tame shot and Horlock gathers. 2-1

    70' The wind has got up again and it's making conditions very difficult for both teams. Might favour Slough as they have the advantage, Maidenhead trying to get themselves going but they're creating little of note. 2-1

    68' Smith's cross from the left catches the wind and very nearly ends up in the Slough net. Maidenhead have the edge in this period. 2-1

    63' The game has just settled down a bit now after those two goals. Maidenhead trying to get back into this but they're being held at arm's length at the moment. 2-1

    Maidenhead almost hit back through Will De Havilland's header. 

    52' GOAL Maidenhead. The Magpies reply almost immediately. Smith racing down the left and crossing for Ajose to tuck home nicely at the far post. Game on! 2-1 

    Beeden has silenced the Maidenhead fans on this side of the ground with a wonderful goal. He beat two or three players and then sent a left footed shot curling into the bottom corner via the post. 2-0 

    47' GOAL Slough. The Rebels extend their advantage with a brilliant finish from Lexus Beeden. What a goal that was! 2-0 

    46' Back underway. Maidenhead have replaced Coyne with Ajose. 1-0

    Attendance today: 1,770

    Half-time: Slough Town 1, Maidenhead United 0

    45' CHANCE! Maidenhead miss a sitter. They pounce on an error by Davies and Smith plays the ball to Abrahams who has virtually an open goal, but he sidefoots wide! 1-0 

    45' Abrahams sees an effort deflected behind for a corner - it's whipped in but Slough manage to scoop it clear from underneath their crossbar 1-0 

    Slough celebrate their opener at Arbour Park

    40' Almost the perfect response from Maidenhead with Reece Smith curling a shot onto the crossbar and behind 1-0 

    36' GOAL! Slough take the lead from a corner kick. Gilbert whips it  in and Spasov ghosts in at the back post to head home 1-0 

    34' Ogbonna vs Latty-Fairweather could be a key battle today. 0-0 

    32' Still can't think of a decent chance either side has made. Coyne has just gone into the book. It continues to be so congested in the middle of the pitch, neither team giving an inch, but it's not a great spectacle. 0-0 

    28' Given we're playing in a storm, the ball is in the air an awful lot. Not the best of halves so far. 0-0 

    23' Davies now goes down after an aerial challenge with McCoulsky. It's been so stop start so far. No flow to this game at all. 0-0 

    20' John Gilbert is cautioned after catching Reece Smith by the touchline 0-0 

    13' It's a fast and frenetic start. Players on both sides getting very little time on the ball. Slough just edging it, but it's tight. 0-0 

    10' Slough force a corner through Ogbonna and Gilbert. It's put into the area and Ross manages to punch clear, 0-0

    9' Amartey whips a fantastic low cross in from the left that no one can get on the end of. 0-0 

    5' Shawn McCoulsky has just gone down after taking the ball full pelt in the face. Looked a sore one. Possible concussion. He's walking off a little groggily. 0-0

    2' The wind is having an impact here. Feels a bit more like a rugby game with players kicking for touch and territory 0-0 

    1' We're underway at Arbour Park! 

    Francis Amartey making his 50th appearance for the Rebels today over a couple of spells. 

    Maidenhead fans start to make some noise in the Berkeley Stand as they wait for the teams. The atmosphere is starting to build nicely now. 

    Here's Maidenhead's Sam Barratt's thoughts ahead of the game. 

    We're approaching kick off. Conditions are appalling. I can barely type. The teams have finished their pre-match warm ups and are shortly to emerge from the dressing room. 

    These are the thoughts of Slough Town boss Scott Davies on the tie this week

    Having calmed down earlier, Storm Darragh appears to be whipping up again just in time for kick off. I'm a little windswept in the stand.

    Interestingly, Will De Havilland starts for the Magpies having initially been suspended for this tie. 

    And the Magpies this afternoon line up as follows, with Aidan Coyne starting after making his loan move from Watford FC.

    Here's how the Rebels line up this afternoon. 

    Slough Town take on Maidenhead United in the third round of the FA Trophy this afternoon. It's the first time the two sides have met in national FA competition or the league in more than two decades! United go into the game as slight favourites - by virtue of their higher level status - however, the Rebels have been in better form of late and also have home  - and 3G pitch - advantage. We're hopefully looking forward to a cup classic!
