    BBC Sport

    Westfields are the lowest-ranked side remaining in the FA Cup after beating Leiston 2-1 at the weekend to go into the first-round proper draw for the first time.

    Labourer Richard Greaves scored the winner for the ninth tier side against a team that plays two levels higher.

    Hereford-based Westfields, who play in the Midland League Premier Division, have won six games in the FA Cup this season, a club record run.

    They were formed in 1966 on the back of England's World Cup triumph.
