Margate’s trip to Meadow Lane for the replay took ten hours and Alan Jones replaced Johnny Roche in the line-up. County went ahead with a goal from Peter Bircumshaw just before the half-hour mark and in the 54th minute big centre-forward Tony Hateley, father of future England player Mark, headed a second goal. With 14 minutes to go, Bircumshaw got his second of the night and shortly afterwards Margate lost Ray John to a broken leg. Alan Blackburn got a late consolation but it was County who went on to take on First Division Manchester City at home in the 3rd Round.
