Stags manager Shane Brayson had to shuffle his pack again with members of the first-team squad suspended, injured or on holiday. Four players made their debuts – Matthew Kelman, Harry Bedford, Tom Bayley and Rob Sillence. All four impressed the management team of Shane Brayson and Dean Inman as the Stags came out playing some great football in the first half. Liam Dreckmann and Liam Jeram were unlucky not to score in the first 15 minutes and it was against the run of play when Oakwood went ahead, with a long ball over the back four for Aiden Cawte to lob advancing Midhurst keeper Kelman. It took a set-piece for the Stags to equalise – from, a Jeram corner captain Fewell headed across goal for Brad Miles to put the ball over the keeper. It was Miles first goal for the Stags and was followed by his customary knee-slide. The Stags started to dominate and the midfield duo of Rich Carter and Miles were pulling the strings and wide players Dreckmann and Kieran Carter were causing the full-backs problems. Midhust got their noses in front through the dangerous Dreckmann’s good finish from inside the box. Bedford was fitting in well next to Sam James, Fewell and Casselton. Jeram missed a good chance while Grant Radmore netted only for the assistant referee rule him offside. Oakwood came out strong in the second half and it took a fantastic save from Kelman to deny them the equaliser – before fantastic defending on the goal-line kept Midhurst ahead. Midhurst changed to 4-3-3 and Bayley came on for Kieran Carter. He was unlucky not to score when hitting the inside of the post, but Dreckmann followed up to smash the ball in from a tight angle. Radmore scored the goal of the game fibe minutes from the end when he picked the ball up and curled a shot into the top corner, giving the keeper no chance. Manager Brayson said: “It’s good to get a win in the cup and the chance to play a premier-division side in the next round at Arundel. “The four new lads played well on their debuts and they have helped to get the balance right in the side. “Saturday will be tough again at home to Hailsham. We have a few still missing, but it gives others their chance to claim and keep the shirt.”
