On Saturday, Daniel Iversen completed 90 minutes for Rotherham United in their Emirates FA Cup First Round triumph at 10-man Maidenhead.

Josh Knight did not feature in Peterborough United’s 1-1 draw at Stevenage in the same competition on Saturday, but played from start to finish in 5 November’s defeat by Shrewsbury Town.

Knight’s side lost 1-0 in midweek following a first-half strike from Ethan Ebanks-Landell, who sealed all three Sky Beat League 1 points for the hosts.

On Friday night, meanwhile, striker Ryan Loft, having netted the winner the previous weekend, came off the bench to help Carlisle United advance to the second round of the FA Cup.

A double from Harry McKirdy, Olufela Olomola’s opener and a 55th-minute effort from Mike Jones saw Loft’s outfit win 4-1 at Dulwich Hamlet.

Kamal Sowah, currently on loan at Belgian side OH Leuven, tasted success on Friday, helping his adopted side win the Belgian First Division B first period.

Their 1-0 win at Virton, who currently sit second, created an unassailable lead in the eight-team standings, while they will contest the second period in the coming weeks.
