Barking Hill and Yaxley met again in the FA Cup 1st Round Qualifying Replays on 8 September 2026, and this time the hosts did not let the tie slip. The final score was 3-0, a clean sheet and a convincing margin that sent Barking Hill through to the next stage.
It was a different game from their meeting five days earlier. The draw at that stage had been a stalemate; here Barking Hill ran the show from the first whistle. They pinned Yaxley back and did not allow the visitors to settle into any rhythm.
The attacking numbers tell the story. Barking Hill recorded 109 attacks to Yaxley's 70, and they did not need corners to create pressure — both sides finished with three apiece. The old head settled them down when the game tightened, and they kept their composure to finish the job.
Yaxley's recent run has not been particularly strong. They had drawn 1-1 at home to Barking Hill on 5 September, then lost 2-3 to Hackney Town in August 2025. This result adds another disappointment to that list.
The statistics confirm the imbalance. Barking Hill's 109 attacks against 70 for Yaxley meant the visitors rarely got the ball in dangerous areas. Both sides had nine goal kicks and seven and nine free kicks respectively, but the difference was in who controlled the midfield. The clean-sheet run came to an end for Yaxley, who had not conceded in their previous outing.
Barking Hill now move on in the FA Cup. The 3-0 victory and the goal difference put them in a strong position for the next round, while Yaxley face another trip away from home with no reward for their efforts.
