Southall secured a 2:1 victory over Cobham at home in the first round qualifying of the FA Cup on Saturday, 6 September 2026. The result marks a return to winning ways for the hosts after a mixed run of form.
Southall had not won in their previous three matches before this encounter. They beat Windsor 2:0 on 29 August, but then lost 1:5 to Hayes & Yeading United, drew 0:0 with Whitelaf, and suffered a 1:4 defeat away at Erith Town.
Cobham arrived with no wins in their last five outings. Their record showed losses to Farnborough 1:3, Dill Town 0:2, and Margate 0:1, alongside a 2:2 draw with Margate and a 3:1 win over Broybridge Heath.
By then the visitors had struggled to find consistency. Three defeats in a row suggested they were still searching for rhythm, and the result against Southall offered little in the way of relief.
The scoreline tells the story without needing further embellishment. Southall took the points, Cobham took the defeat.
