Here’s a summary of the week’s events and a look ahead to the next seven days:
Late Drama in the FA Cup
Swindon scored late in the cup against Cheltenham on Saturday but were instantly pegged back by the home side. Jerry Yates fired in on 90 minutes with a powerful left-footed effort but Alex Addai’s strike a minute later forced a replay and prolonged Town’s unwanted record of having never won at Whaddon Road.
A date is yet to be set for the rematch; however, ticket prices are as follows:

Loan Watch
Luke Haines and Chippenham Town’s FA Cup run came to an end against league opposition as Northampton travelled to Hardenhuish Park on Sunday. Former Town striker Harry Smith was on the scoresheet for the League Two side as they completed a 3-0 win.
Joe Romanski started for Melksham as they exited the FA Trophy against Gosport Borough. Will Henry played his first game for Gloucester City and was on-hand to preserve a point for his team with an important save in the final knockings of the game against Farsley Celtic.
Following his brace for Hungerford Town last weekend, Cam McGilp’s side had their game against Tonbridge Angels called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
Final fixture in the Leasing.Com Trophy
Town head to Bristol Rovers to fulfil their final fixture in the Leasing.Com Trophy. They have nothing to play for having lost their opening two games in the competition.
