FA Cup: Chesham must not ‘feel sorry’ for themselves after Lincoln loss

Chesham United co-manager James Duncan urged his players not to feel sorry for themselves after their FA Cup run was ended by Lincoln City.

The National League South side came through three qualifying rounds to reach the main draw for the second season in a row.

But their League One opponents took the lead through Jack Moylan late in the first half and added three more goals in the second for a 4-0 win.

“Their fitness came into it; they were a very physical, powerful, fit team and overran us a bit in the second half,” Duncan told BBC Three Counties Radio.

“You need to go in front in the game. If you go in front you’ve got half a chance because [otherwise] they are so clinical.”

A crowd of 3,963 packed into The Meadow to see if Chesham could reach round two for the first time since 2016, and only the second time in their history in a game which was televised live.

“It’s so good for the club, the town, and all the volunteers who put in so much time and effort – it’s great reward for them to have a TV game. Our league support has been good this year so hopefully they’ll all come back,” said Duncan, who has been joint manager with Michael Murray since 2018.
