Live blog: Slough Town 2-1 Maidenhead United

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!
