A SCRAMBLED equaliser four minutes from time on Saturday by former Chard player Lee Clarke denied the Robins a place in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup.

It was a robust local derby in which the Bridport side included a handful of ex-Chard players.

Final score was Bridport 1, Chard Town 1.
