HARRIERS and AFC Fylde will meet again in the Emirates FA Cup after an end-to-end Aggborough tie failed to separate the two. 

The National League North rivals went toe-to-toe in Worcestershire and played out a 2-2 draw, with Ashley Hemmings and Yusiu Ceesay on target for the Reds.

Now they must battle once more at Mill Farm on Tuesday to determine just who goes through to take a place in the First Round proper - the draw for which will be held in the interim on Monday night.

It was the visitors who settled first on the day and, after both sides had sights of goal, Nick Haughton struck the Coasters in front. 15 minutes in, he showed great skill on the edge of the area before firing a deflected effort past Tom Palmer and into the far corner to continue his own phenomenal scoring run.

While Danny Rowe did fire at Palmer with another Fylde effort on 20 minutes, Harriers responded to going behind well - Hemmings twice hitting off target before Ceesay turned an effort into the hands of visiting goalkeeper Chris Neal.

Ceesay's neat step-over helped the ball arrive to Hemmings on the half-hour but the Harriers No.10 was on the stretch and couldn't quite muster the power on his effort - so such issue with his shot three minutes later that flew over.

Further warning signs from Fylde followed before the end of the half when Tom Leak showed great awareness to block a Haughton effort on the line before the same player shot from 35 yards to keep Palmer busy on the stroke of half time.

Rowe's low effort, four after the restart, was a comfortable gather for Palmer, but Harriers were ahead thanks to two quick-fire goals in as many minutes. First, Jack Bearne - also on his first start - linked with Hemmings at a short corner to enable the latter to shoot at goal, the effort finding the net with a touch from Krystian Pearce for good measure.

90 seconds later it was 2-1 to the hosts as Ceesay punished Neal for dwelling on the ball, taking it off him before sliding it into an empty net for his third of the season.

For a spell it was then all Harriers, as Martin, Hemmings, Martin again and Bearne all helped pepper the Fylde goal, before a free kick helped Fylde restore parity, an effort from an outrageous angle clipping the bar and finding the net.

Hemmings headed over in search of a winner for Harriers on 79 minutes before an injury-time effort from Nathan Lowe was deflected over, leaving the two teams booked in for a Tuesday night on the Fylde coast.
