Result was disputed
This was the ordered replay following the original tie at Lutterworth on August 8, 2026, which finished 0-0; it was not a void, abandonment, or administrative award. Independent match-result reports agree that Hereford Pegasus lost this replay 3-5, and sources that explicitly mark other replay results as requiring extra time do not mark this one, supporting a regulation-time decision.
