81' Blocked on the line! Port Vale, and most of the stadium, thought that was in as Jayden Stockley's shot found its way through the defence and was cleared by Walsall! Port Vale 0-1 #Saddlers

51' Gooooaalll Walsall! Jamille Matt heads an effort on goal, only to be saved at point blank range and then looped back into the net! That sends Walsall top of the league. Port Vale 0-1 #Saddlers

Half time: Port Vale 0-0 Walsall Locked in a goalless stalemate, with only a handful of chances for either side. The conditions are playing their part as both teams try and adapt to the other's style of play. #Saddlers

Interesting from Mat Sadler saying that he's not taking anything for granted this weekend as you would probably expect in the FA Cup. However with Notts County and Port Vale looming, many fans seem to think a squad rotation is the best idea. #Saddlers

Birmingham City have been drawn against Exeter away on a Tuesday night for the EFL Trophy. 😅 It's a competition Chris Davies still intends on taking seriously, as demonstrated by the demolition against Fulham U21s. Meanwhile, Walsall have been drawn at home to Reading. #BCFC #Saddlers

Walsall will face either Leyton Orient, Swindon Town, Reading or Northampton Town in tonight's EFL Trophy draw. Birmingham City will play one of Colchester United, Burton Albion, Exeter City or Cheltenham Town. #BCFC #Saddlers

Raducanu: "When you're playing someone like Rebecca [Marino] who is such a big server, I knew I had to dig in and fight. I really stuck in a little bit extra and it definitely helped to have the support." #BJKCup

Marino clearly not deterred by the setback from Raducanu in the second set, showing her experience. Raducanu fighting back hard though. Meanwhile the final between Sinner and Fritz is already close, as predicted. This could well be going the distance. #BJKCup #NittoATPFinals

End of 90 minutes: Alvechurch 0-0 Chasetown A sluggish second half as both teams failing to drum up too many chances. After an energetic first half that promised plenty of goals, the pace of the game completely changed. Penalty shootout incoming.

Half time: Alvechurch 0-0 Chasetown First half has flown by. A saved penalty as Danny O'Callaghan failed to put the hosts ahead was just one of the many chances for Chasetown. Alvechurch have failed to create a great deal, and the second half favoures Chasetown.

Breaking: Matt Clarke returns to Redditch United as manager! Good to see him back. With Tim Flowers now leaving, there's plenty of speculation about where he could end. Alvechurch, Bromsgrove and Hednesford are still vacant positions at the moment.

Tim Flowers has left Redditch United to go to another club. This is just hours before their league game at home to Stamford. Hednesford Town and Alvechurch both have vacant positions.

One of the ties of the round today in the FA Trophy. Halesowen selling over 1000 away tickets as a Step 3 side, and most of that support was there at Step 4 as well. Phenomenal.

Emi Martinez speaking to L'Equipe. "I like to take the pressure from the opposing fans so that my teammates can play freely. With the strikers, I bet watches that I will have more clean sheets than they will score goals. "Pushing my guys in a good spirit is the best way to push myself.”

Alvechurch have sacked Jimmy Fry just a few days before their FA Trophy tie with Chasetown. Two years on from their famous FA Cup win at Cheltenham, it all seems to be going wrong as they are languishing around the relegation zone without a win since September.
