WOKINGHAM & Emmbrook progressed to the first round proper of the FA Vase after a dramatic 3-1 extra-time win over Highmoor Ibis.

Sumas looked to be heading out of the competition when Ian Griffin gave Highmoor the lead from the penalty spot in the 76th minute.

And Jones and Tom Williams both netted to set up a first round proper tie at home to Marlow on October 13 at Larges Lane (3pm ko).
