Valley came from behind against 10-man Racing Club Warwick to earn their first win in the FA Trophy in 15 years.

The victory ensured a place in the Second Round Qualifying for the first time since 2010 and also marked Grant Joshua's first home win as manager.

Joshua made one enforced change to the team that drew at Belper Town last week with midfielder Olly West coming into the back four in place of Bleu McNeil who was away on holiday.

Warwick defender Archie Hamp's 16th minute sending-off for a late aerial challenge on Ethan Hanson came just after the hosts had nearly opened the scoring when Caine Elliott was denied by Sam Lomax when clean through.

However, ex-Valley midfielder James Hancocks' looping header from an improbable angle to Kyle Barnett's deep free-kick gave the visitors the advantage, but Town skipper Sam Tye levelled it up with a smart finish from close range after a corner.

Tyrell Skeen-Hamilton's free-kick struck the frame after the restart, before Elliott eased Rugby ahead from the spot after Rivel Mardenborough had been fouled.

Sub Stan Anaebonam grabbed the third by coolly finishing off Callum Griffin's pass, with Elliott making things absolutely safe with a second successfully converted penalty after Lomax had taken out Cairo Taylor.

Anaebonam then missed out on a great chance for a debut brace late on, as the hosts dominated the closing exchanges.

Full report to follow.

Valley Line-up: Bald; Tye, Kabeya, West, Hanson; Adegoke (Francis 78'), Sahota (Anaebonam 29'), Elliott, Griffin (Beech 84'); Mardenborough (Shaw 86'), Nee (Taylor 65').
