| Match Summary | The first meeting with the fourth Division Spireites comes in the FA Cup at Fratton. Chesterfield had beaten Skelmersdale United and Wrexham on their to the third round and proved a stubborn opponent. The first half is forgettable but after Nicky Jennings heads in a cross from Trebs it is a routine win. Pointer has a shot spilled by the keeper and Albie McCann scores and Bromley sets up nippy Nick to add the late goals. |
