Plymouth Parkway secured a place in the next round of the FA Cup following a 2-0 victory over Chertsey Town on Sunday. The match, played at Parkway’s home ground, was marked by a strong defensive effort and a series of missed opportunities before the visitors ultimately succumbed to late goals.

Parkway began the match with an assertive approach, creating several early chances but struggling to convert. Forward Rocky Neal was particularly active, registering multiple attempts, including one where he was denied by a crucial defensive block after evading the opposing goalkeeper. Despite these efforts, Chertsey also threatened on the counterattack, putting Parkway’s goalkeeper Aaron Dearing under pressure. Dearing responded with several key saves throughout the match, preserving the clean sheet for his team.

Will Sullivan also contributed significantly to Parkway’s defensive resilience, making a vital block that helped keep the opposition from scoring. Both sides struggled to break through before halftime, with Parkway missing additional opportunities, including a free-kick, while Chertsey failed to capitalize on their chances.

The second half mirrored the first in intensity and missed chances. Neal had a goal disallowed for offside, further adding to Parkway’s frustration in front of goal. Nevertheless, the breakthrough came in the 69th minute when Neal successfully found the net, giving Parkway the lead.

Following the goal, Chertsey appeared increasingly unsettled as Parkway pressed their advantage. Neal continued to threaten the opposition’s defense alongside teammate Callum Hall. Neal secured the victory for Parkway with a second goal in the 89th minute, extending the lead and effectively sealing the result.

Parkway’s 2-0 win ensured their progression in the FA Cup, demonstrating resilience and persistence despite earlier difficulties in front of goal.
