A LAST-GASP goal from Craig Mackail-Smith gave Peterborough a 1-0 win over Ryman Premier side AFC Hornchurch in the first round of the FA Cup yesterday.

LAST night’s Carling Cup action was overshadowed by events in Nottingham after Leicester’s Irish defender Clive Clarke collapsed in the dressing room at half time in their clash with Notts Forest, leading to the match being abandoned.
