Daventry Town fell at the first hurdle in the Buildbase FA Trophy despite having a second bite at the cherry. Town went out of the competition in Monday’s preliminary round replay at Kidsgrove a goal in each half sunk Aaron Parkinson’s side. Town were unable to clear their lines and the ball fell kindly to former Portsmouth and Coventry City defender Richard Duffy to fire home. Fitzgerald has two good shouts for penalties in the second half but as Town pushed forward for an equaliser, James Jennings made sure of Kidsgrove’s place in the next round where they will play Wisbech Town at home. So, it’s back to BetVictor Southern League action for Town who travel to Didcot Town on Saturday.
