Hemel Hempstead Rovers 1 Sun Sports 5 1969/70 Aubrey Cup
Sun's late rush
It took three goals in the last four minutes to make sure of Sun Sports entry into the next round after they had failed to shake off Rovers' challenge for much of the game.
With four changes in their side and playing well below their recent form, Sun took the lead after 20 minutes through Paul Froud.
Ten minutes later Froud fastened on to another defensive error for a second goal but Rovers came back into the game midway through the second half.
Sun expected a free kick for a foul on Colin Tattam in the 65th minute but to their consternation it was given the other way - from the penalty spot!
The left half converted and it was left to Tattam to make certain of victory four minutes from time when he drove in a 25 yard shot from Eddie Rolfe's pass.
A minute later, Brian Smith scored from an acute angle following a fine solo run.
Almost straight from the kick off Ron Rooney scored the fifth.
