Pitchero Non League

In the FA Carlsberg Vase Second Qualifying Round is proved a great day for the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League as six of the eight teams in action won through to the First Round proper.

Pride of place must go to Division One East side Exmouth Town who play at Step 7 and were drawn away to Wells City of the Step 5 Toolstation Western League Premier Division.

Exmouth won 1-0 with a Jamie Moore goal to record a notable giantkilling and earn a home tie with Sherborne Town next month.

Also able to claim giant-kills are Saltash United, who won 2-1 away at Western Premier side Radstock Town to set up a home tie with former SWP side Buckland Athletic, and St Blazey also beat Western Premier opposition in the shape of Bishop Sutton with a 3-1 win at Blaise Park that included a Seb Broomfield brace. St Blazey will host Barnstaple Town next.

Bovey Tracey will travel to St Austell in an all-SWPL tie after the South Devon side had a 3-0 win at home to Western League Division One side Welton Rovers.

Two sides had ties against Somerset County League outfits with St Austell needing extra-time to beat Ashton & Backwell 1-0 at Poltair, whilst Bodmin Town had a more straight-forward 4-0 win away at Minehead.

The two SWPL sides to go out were Porthleven from the West Division, who had a very hard task away at Buckland Athletic and lost 7-1, and Cullompton Rangers are out after a heavy 8-1 thrashing away at Western League Odd Down.

Joe Vyner and Kai Simpson got on the scoresheet against an off-colour Rangers side.

Combined Counties League side Guernsey are through to the next round after a 2-0 home win against league rivals Farnham Town.

The goals came from Ross Allen and Ryan Zico-Black and Guernsey will now play Whyteleafe.

In front of a 1000-plus crowd at Footes Lane, ace striker Ross Allen broke the deadlock after 30 minutes. Guernsey had earlier come close through Rihoy and Dyer.

The score remained 1-0 at half-time.

In the 60th minute Ryan Zico-Black made it 2-0 with a great volley.

Western League Premier Division Barnstaple Town are through after an extra-time victory over Division One side Wellington.

A corner from Mark Clunie was met with a powerful header from Ollie Feltham to bring Wellington level just before half time.

Barnstaple suffered a set-back when defender Kieran Jewell was carried off with an ankle injury but they continued to look the more threatening side.

And Jones nodded the winner at the far post after a shot from Roger Ingham took a deflection.

Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) Premier Division side Fareham Town were beaten 6-3 by league rivals Alton Town at their Cams Alders home ground.

The Brewers raced into the lead but Fareham did, however, at one stage, pull it back from being 3-1 down, to 3-3. But the visitors then went on to score three more to seal an impressive victory. Matt Burt, Kieran Lewis and Ashley Tattersall got the three goals for the hosts.

Blackfield & Langley were involved in a dramatic game at home against Western Leaguers Bristol Manor Farm.

Nathan Lynch put the Watersiders ahead only for the visitors to equalise. Then Blackfield & Langley had former AFC Bournemouth defender Scott Sampson sent-off.

In a tactical re-shuffle, joint-managers Ashley Vickers and Glenn Burnett brought on newly dual-registered striker Alex Baldacchino and he then restored the hosts' advantage.

As the game headed into stoppage time, the visitors made it 2-2 and the tie looked destined to go for a reply, only for former Bournemouth Poppies defender Kane Daysh to score a thumping header in the 4th minute of added on time to seal a place in the First Round for the ten-men.

West Midlands (Regional) League side AFC Wulfrunians enjoyed a fine away day at Midland Comination outfit Pershore Town as they won 5-2.

Danny Crudgington netted a penalty on 15 minutes and he grabbed his second 9 minutes later.

It was 3-0 just before the break, thanks to Liam Wilkinson but Ben Hayes’s strike 5 minutes after the interval gave his side hope.

Hayes then netted another to set up a grandstand finale but Crudgington completed his hat-trick to make it 4-2 with 10 minutes remaining.

And there was still time for Jake Webb to make it five in the dying minutes to complete a superb day.

Liam Currell was on target to help Swanage & Herston to overcome United Services Portsmouth down on the south coast – but the hosts were unlucky not to force a replay when Danny Mycock hit the post.

Currell made them pay by making it 2-0 late on and Paul Best added another.

North West Counties League side Formby were in fine form as they beat Baris Northern Counties East League outfit Selby Town 5-1 away from home with goals from Emini Adegbenroe and Jason Carey with two apiece and Paul Speed, while NCEL Parkgate reversed that trend by enjoying away day success with a 2-0 win at NWCL Ashton Town, courtesy of Nathan Forbes-Swindells and Jasob Walters-Lang.

Chinnor made their debut in the Vase, but unfortunately lost 0-1 to Ascot United, for whom John Bennett scored the winning goal. A great consolation for Chinnor was a decent attendance of 271.

Wantage Town beat Cove 6-1 in a curious match that required extra-time! The score was tied at 1-1 after 90 minutes with Richard Claydon scoring Wantage’s goal from the penalty spot.

Wantage then ran amok scoring five times in extra-time. Claydon completed a hat trick with further goals coming from John McMahon and Tom Rowe.

Fairford Town and Hook Norton have to do it all again following a 3-3 draw after extra-time, the score was tied at 2-2 after 90 minutes with Fairford scoring through Nathan Gambling and Callum Parsons. Ben Tew and Jason Tillcock scoring for Hook Norton.

Gambling and Tillcock then added further goals meaning a replay will take place in midweek to decide which team proceeds to the next round.

Highmoor Ibis and Wokingham & Emmbrook was another match that required extra-time to decide the outcome. Ian Griffin had given Highmoor the lead, with Khalid Sensussi equalising for Wokingham in the last minute of normal time.

ChromaSport & Trophies United Counties League Division One club AFC Rushden & Diamonds swept past Thurlow Nunn Leaguers Fakenham Town 4-1 at the Dog & Duck in front of a crowd of 557.

A first half goal from Alfie Taylor was the Diamonds’ only reward for a dominant performance, but after letting the visitors back into the game when Toby Harris ghosted in to head an equaliser from a corner after 62 minutes, the Diamonds turned up the heat, as a second goal from Taylor was followed by late goals for Jack Wisniewski and Jake Newman.
