Brackley 'deserved' shock Gillingham win

Brackley Town manager Jon Brady believes that his side were full value for their shock 1-0 victory against Gillingham in the FA Cup first round.

A 20-yard strike from Glenn Walker was enough to secure the Conference North outfit passage into the second round for the first time and in the club's history, but Brady suggested that the result was far from a fluke.

He told BBC Radio Northampton: "In my opinion, we've outplayed a League One side, and I've just beaten an ex-England manager (Peter Taylor).

"We needed nine-out-of-10 performances from everyone again. I really enjoyed that. It's special times at the moment."

In round two Brackley travel to Macclesfield Town, who thumped League One side Swindon Town to progress.
