JAMIE O’Hara has called on Billericay Town to make sure they reach the FA Cup first round for a third consecutive campaign after Alan Julian’s heroics kept the club’s dreams alive.

Billericay are set to welcome National League outfit Sutton United to the Steel Team Stadium for a fourth qualifying round replay tonight, after goalkeeper Julian’s injury time leveller.

And O’Hara, who took over as the National League South side’s player-manager last month, is still in belief at how the tie ended.

O’Hara said: “It’s crazy that so much has happened in the last three weeks since I took charge, both on and off the pitch.

“But Jules’ goal was the most Billericay moment I have known.

“Jordan Parkes had missed a chance just before that and I thought that was it, but then the goalkeeper scored a 93rd minute equaliser and it was an incredible moment.

“I am always hammering Jules and telling him what to do better, but he kept us in the game with some fantastic saves and then scored that goal as well.

“It was an unbelievable moment and that doesn’t happen very often, so I told Jules to enjoy it.”

However, O’Hara was keen not to get carried away after Julian cancelled out Omar Bugiel’s early opener for Sutton.

And the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder insists Billericay still have a job to do tonight.

“I didn’t get overexcited because, at the end of the day, we drew the game and there is still lots to do,” added O’Hara.

“Sutton are a good side and, for some reason, they are better away from home at the moment.

“It’s going to be another difficult game and we just need to focus on ourselves.

“We did a lot of things well and it’s important that we build on that.

“What Jules did was incredible and we need to make sure that was a catalyst for getting us through to the first round.”

Julian made numerous key saves to keep Billericay in the tie at Gander Green Lane.

But Billericay also created chances of their own, with Jake Robinson and Parkes among those going close.

Julian, who was already a fans’ favourite before his unlikely equaliser deep into injury time, ensured the two sides will meet again and O’Hara felt a draw was the fair outcome.

O’Hara admitted: “I thought we played really well in the second half, but we were a bit sloppy before that.

“However, a draw was definitely a fair result.

“We rode our luck at times but we went for it in the second half and deserved to take something out of the game.

“It was a big result for us and our home form is really good, so we are confident.

“I know it was a difficult one for Sutton to take because of how our leveller came.

“But they have a good manager, so they will know what to do after that situation.

“It felt like a win for us, but we aren’t through yet and need to get the job done.”
