Full Report

Notts County went out the FA Cup in the second round at home to non-league Havant and Waterlooville at Meadow Lane.

The only goal of the game came on 87 minutes when Taggart gave the visitors a well deserved victory.

The last time Notts County lost at home to non-league league club in the FA Cup was 48 years ago this month.

In a game that did not have many clear chances it was the non-league outfit that had the best of them.

In the first half Collins put his header just over the bar.

The second half who could see the opposition scoring and it nearly came when Harkin`s shot was saved by Pilkington at his near post.

Notts paid for some poor defending when trying to play the off-side trap the ball fell to Taggart he beat the Notts keeper to the delight of the away fans behind that goal.

Notts did have 5 minutes of added time to try and get a replay but when the ball fell to Dudfield in the area he put his header over with just the keeper to beat.

The players went off to boo’s and chants of "you’re not fit to wear those shirts"
