Dig deeply enough in the early rounds of the FA Cup and you always find a Welsh connection. So will it be the Wrexham old boy or the former Newport County favourite who survives the replay between Billericay Town and Leatherhead? The 22-year-old midfielder Robbie Evans joined Billericay this season from Wrexham after making 120 appearances for the north Walians. He started the first round tie for the Isthmian League side at Leatherhead. Opposing him was the former Newport County midfield stalwart Lee Minshull, who made 133 appearances for the Welsh club as they fought their way back into the Football League. He is the current captain of Leatherhead.

Shawn McCoulsky is fast earning a reputation as a ‘super sub’ at Newport County after once again coming off the bench and scoring. The 20-year-old striker made it seven goals in 11 games since joining on loan from Bristol City this season as he scored five minutes after coming on to salvage a point against Mansfield Town last weekend to keep his side in sixth place in League Two. It was the third game in a row that McCoulsky had scored while coming off the bench and manager Michael Flynn admitted he is getting close to having to give him a start. Not that McCoulsky is worried, as long as he is scoring.
