Reading City have progressed to the First Round Qualifying of the FA Cup for the first time after a resounding 4-0 win over Easington Sports last night.
Drawing 2-2 against the same opposition in the original tie, the replay at Rivermoor was more explosive as Eddie Lee's first-half brace was added to by a Tyler D'Cruz brace in the second half.
The Cityzens will host Shaftesbury in the First Round Qualification on Saturday, September 2.

First-team manager, Simon Johnson, labelled the win a 'class performance.'
"Class performance, he said on Twitter."Seven changes from Saturday shows the depth we have this year. Onto the next."
Reading City will need to get through four rounds of qualifying before entering the proper competition, in which League One neighbours Reading FC enter.
