GRAYS Athletic booked a home tie with Hastings United after a high-scoring replay at Harlow.

Jody Brown had watched his side struggle to a 2-2 draw only days earlier but the Blues started this match with intent.

Jamie Guy had the ball in the net after only two minutes but once again Harlow fought back, with hotshot Alex Read heading home from a free-kick.

That was how it stayed until the break before Grays took charge in the second half.

Against the run of play Grays re-took the lead. Former Reading man Glen Little crossing for Kenny Beaney to put the away side back in charge.

It was 3-1 shortly after, a loose ball being curled into the top corner by Jordan Wilson.

And Little himself made sure of the result with a free-kick that Harlow keeper Dean Driscoll will have been disappointed to beat him.

Read smashed home a second but it was too little too late for Harlow.
