Callum Boylan’s dad Lee scored when Stevenage won the FA Trophy at Wembley in 2009, but the Great Wakering striker narrowly missed the target on the stroke of half-time as the teams went in goalless.

After the break, Romford made amends for their earlier missed chances as Nalbant capitalised on a Rovers mistake and calmly passed the ball into the net.

He then created the second goal by chipping the ball to Dorrell, who had a low shot parried by Shamshoum, with Deering slotting home the rebound.

Great Wakering rallied to try to get back into the game, with midfielder Jake Gordon having a shot blocked and defender Harrison Topliss’ header being caught by Romford keeper Jake Anderson.

But Boro added gloss to their victory as Nalbant scored his 32nd goal of the season with the outside of his foot after being put through in added time.
