First-ever FA Vase third-round places for six clubs

The FA Vase second round produced the most notable stories of the past few days, with a run of clubs reaching the third round for the first time. Hassocks, Longlevens, Elburton Villa, Retford, Kings Langley and Cove all secured third-round places for the first time, Cove progressing on penalties after Sam Allison saved two spot-kicks. Hinckley AFC reached round three for the first time in eight years despite being reduced to nine men, with Ky Green stretchered off after 20 minutes, and Colney Heath equalled their best Vase run on penalties.

Shoot-outs decided plenty of ties. Brocton beat Abbey Hulton United 5-4 after a 2-2 draw, Ampthill Town won 4-2 on penalties against Haverhill Rovers, and Rugby Town went through 3-2 at Southwell City after Charlie Tilley's last-gasp equaliser.

In league action, Bradford (Park Avenue) drew 1-1 at Consett to extend their unbeaten start to 15 games, while Jarrow stretched their run to 18 with a 4-0 win over FC Hartlepool. Spalding United beat Darlington 3-2, Dan Barton scoring twice, and Moneyfields won 11-1 against Liss Athletic in the Russell Cotes Cup, a club record margin.

Off the pitch, Worksop Town said a supporter who threw liquid over the referee has been banned until further notice, and Macclesfield planned a minute's applause for Ethan McLeod before their game with Bedford Town.
