Great cup night for Millers

ROTHERHAM United dumped Notts County out of the FA Cup tonight with a sparkling 3-0 win in their FA Cup replay at Meadow Lane.

First-half goals by Ben Pringle, Mark Bradley and Daniel Nardiello sealed a trip to Aldershot Town in the third round on January 5.   

Pringle’s cracking 25-yarder had the Millers ahead after only nine minutes and Bradley turned in the scorer’s corner kick to make it 2-0 13 minutes later.

With the home side reduced to ten men on the half-hour mark due to defender Damion Stewart’s illegal challenge on Alex Revell, Lee Frecklington squared for Nardiello to score the third just before the interval and all but wrap up the tie.

The Millers put in a professional show in the second half to see the match out and could have added to their tally.

Notts County: Mitchell, Kelly, Liddle, Stewart, Sheehan, Judge, Bishop, J. Hughes (Zoko 46), Boucard, Campbell-Ryce, Arquin (Showunmi 46)

Millers: Warrington, Bradley, O’Connell (Cameron 74) , Arnason, Mullins (capt), Pringle, Taylor (Rose 85), Frecklington, O’Connor, Nardiello (Walker 90), Revell

Referee: Darren Deadman (Northants)
