Strong performance sees Guiseley through to third qualifying round

Guiseley AFC advanced to the third qualifying round of the FA Cup after a 4-1 victory against Hebburn Town at The Trustmark Group Stadium on Saturday, 19 September 2026. The National League North visitors produced a composed display despite challenging windy conditions, with four different players scoring to secure the win.

Match summary

Guiseley manager Ian Richards made several team adjustments ahead of the match, including the return of Elliot Owen to the defence and the inclusion of Lebrun Mbeka, who played with a bandaged hand following an injury sustained in the previous game. Aaron Martin was absent due to a recent injury.

The match began with Guiseley playing against a strong gusting wind, which, combined with a well-watered pitch, caused difficulties for the home side’s defenders. Hebburn Town struggled to create clear chances early on, while Guiseley’s attackers, including Amir Berchil and Jordan Thewlis, tested the home defence with a number of opportunities.

Guiseley took the lead just before half-time after a defensive mix-up between Hebburn’s goalkeeper Isaac Allan and a defender allowed Kallan Murphy to score into an empty net.

In the second half, Guiseley extended their lead through a series of well-executed plays:

Jack Tinker scored with a powerful left-footed shot following a low cross from Ollie Brown.
Cam Wilson added a third goal with a curling effort into the top corner after receiving a lay-off from Jordan Thewlis.

Hebburn responded with a penalty, awarded after Kian Foreman was fouled in the box. Tom Allan converted the spot-kick to reduce the deficit.

Despite increased pressure from the home side, Guiseley’s defence, led by Mbeka and Owen, held firm. The visitors sealed the victory with a fourth goal when Amir Berchil capitalised on a misplaced pass by the Hebburn defence, lobbed the goalkeeper, and scored.
