An excellent FA Cup replay at Cougar Park saw Silsden go down 3-1 to Halifax Town at the preliminary stage.

The visitors took the lead midway through the first half when Ashley Stott netted a super diving header.

They doubled it five minutes before the break through a contested penalty. A handball offence was given and Stott scored from the spot.

Just minutes into the second half, Dan Moriarty gave the home side hope when he cut the deficit but Jonathon Swift added a late third goal to ensure the visitors progressed.
