Match Preview
Diamonds missing skipper Stuart Rushden skipper Jamie Stuart will miss his side's FA Cup first round clash against League One Yeovil through suspension. Stuart is serving a two-match ban for a sending off in the previous round. In his absence, Shane Huke and Michael Corcoran are likely to resume their partnership in the heart of defence. Striker Rene Howe faces a late fitness test on the ankle injury which kept him out of last Saturday's 5-0 thumping of Barrow. His replacement, Ryan Charles, scored twice in that match and will be hopeful of retaining his place in the starting XI, irrespective of Howe's fitness. Defender Curtis Osano was taken off early in the Barrow match as a precaution having sustained a knock, but he should be fit to continue. Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton demanded a reaction from his players ahead of the trip. Skiverton was disappointed with the Glovers' last minute defeat to MK Dons in the league on Tuesday and needs a win against the Conference side to ease some of the pressure on him. Goalkeeper Stephen Henderson missed the defeat at Stadium:MK through concussion after suffering a head injury in the draw with Swindon last week and could return. If Henderson fails to recover John Sullivan will continue between the sticks. Sam Williams returned to the starting line-up on Tuesday and is expected to keep his place in the Glovers midfield after replacing Andy Welsh, who dropped to the bench. Striker Luke Freeman is also pushing for a place up front after recovering from a thigh injury.

Match Report
Williams sends Glovers through Andy Williams' controversial late goal put Yeovil into the second round of the FA Cup for the first time in five years after a 1-0 win at Rushden & Diamonds. The Conference side, who knocked Yeovil out at this stage in 2006, had defended manfully until the decisive moment, which was at first disallowed for offside against Sam Williams only for the referee to overturn the decision. Rushden nearly drew first blood in the 10th minute when Ryan Charles connected first time with Shane Huke's low cross only to be denied by a great save by Yeovil goalkeeper John Sullivan. The Glovers were denied by the woodwork twice when Andy Williams' shot and then Paul Huntington's header from a couple of yards came back off the upright. It was then the Diamonds turn to hit the frame of the goal when Lewwis Spence's deflected effort from the edge of the box came back off the bar. Then came the moment of controversy when, after Bowditch saw a shot saved by Joe Day, Andy Williams struck a low shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. The linesman at first had his flag up for offside, but the referee decided Sam Williams was not interfering.
