BBC November 26, 2002 - Vauxhall Motors stun QPR
QPR 1-1 Vauxhall Motors (aet)
(Vauxhall won 4-3 on penalties)
Vauxhall Motors caused the upset of the FA Cup first round as they dumped out Second Division QPR on penalties at Loftus Road.
The Unibond League outfit thoroughly deserved their victory and should have won in normal time.
But
it was left to goalkeeper Andy Ralph to save from Paul Furlong in the
shootout before Karl Connolly's miss sent the part-timers through 4-3.
There did not look to be an upset on the cards when Andy Thomson shot QPR ahead after 18 minutes.
But when Vauxhall skipper Phil Brazier levelled four minutes later the game swung towards the part-timers.
They
were denied four times in the first half after superb efforts by Terry
Fearns, Robbie Lawton, Peter Cumiskey and Nicky Young as they dominated
their opponents.
QPR hit back after the break as the non-League
side tired. But Thomson, Clarke Carlisle and Connolly all missed chances
as the game went first into extra time and then to penalties.
Vauxhall
earned a second-round tie at Macclesfield with successful kicks from
Cumiskey, Fearns, Carl Nesbitt and Kevin Lynch, and were given a
standing ovation at the end.
QPR: Digby, Forbes, Carlisle,
Palmer, Padula, Burgess, Bircham, Langley, Williams, Thomson, Furlong.
Subs: Culkin, Connolly, Murphy, Oli, Daly.
Vauxhall Motors:
Ralph, Lawton, Brazier, Collins, McDermott, Nesbitt, Aspinall, Haddrell,
Cumiskey, Fearns, Young. Subs: Hogg, Thompson, Lynch, Derek Ward,
Welton.

QPR OFFICIAL SITE - HOLLOWAY: "PRIDE IS AT STAKE"
Rangers
manager Ian Holloway is looking forward to tonight's FA Cup first round
replay against Vauxhall Motors at Loftus Road (kick off 7.45pm). After a
disappointing goalless draw at Luton on the back of a similar stalemate
against today's opponents the previous weekend, Ollie sees this as a
chance to get the season up and running once again.
"Pride is at
stake tonight and this is an opportunity to get back to winning ways" he
said. Reflecting on that game at Kenilworth Road, Ollie was frustrated
by some aspects of the performance but also felt there were some
positives.
"There are some good points to take from the game - we
started positively, but we can't hide from the fact that we didn't
capitalise when they went down to nine men."
For the whole Ian
Holloway interview on QPR World click on one of the links below. Ollie
talks frankly about his spat with Luton boss Joe Kinnear and you can
also take a look at the injury suffered by Kevin Gallen. Rangers physio
Prav Mathema also discusses the latest injury situation...."
