Victory in the second qualifying round replay would have netted Boro nearly £5,000 in prize money and a draw at home to Southern League outfit Bedworth United.

Instead it was Sphinx from the Midland Football Alliance – three leagues below Stafford – who were celebrating a windfall at full time.

"I've put a lot of time in here to walk away on a Cup result but I feel very low at the moment," Brindley admitted.
