A record crowd at Brods-worth Welfare's ground of 1,251 saw visitors FC United of Manchester preserve their 100 per cent start with a 3-1 win.

The rout that many were expecting never materialised and although Stuart Rudd gave the visitors a 40th minute lead it was not until the final 20 minutes that Brodsworth's resistance was really broken and Manchester secured their place in the next round.

Josh Howard curled in a second on 70 minutes before Rory Patterson added a third seven minutes later. But battling Brodsworth deservedly scored a consolation effort when Craig Longley netted in the final minute.

Parkgate came from behind to win at 2-1 at North West Counties side Atherton Laburnum Rovers.

The hosts took a 32nd minute lead through Rick Arnold but Matt Outram levelled for Parkgate within two minutes and Caine Cheetham hit a 64th minute winner.

Two goals from Liam Cartledge gave Dinnington Town a 2-1 home win over Bacup Borough.
Cartledge opened the scoring with a 13th minute penalty and although the visitors levelled before the break, Cartledge grabbed his second 12 minutes from time to put Dinnington through.

Worsbrough Bridge won the derby beating Rossington Main 2-1 at Park Road.
Martin Scully's 25-yard drive gave Worsbrough an 11th minute advantage but Ryan Shelton's header on 19 minutes brought the teams back on level term.

Craig Wilkinson scored what proved to be the winner for Worsbrough three minutes before the break.

Maltby Main were well beaten 4-1 at Colne where the home side took a two-goal lead inside five minutes.

Russell Hobson reduced the deficit on 16 minutes with a header but Colne scored twice after the break to seal the tie.

Goals from Mark Ashton 2 and Mick Godber inside the last 15 minutes gave Retford United a 3-0 home win over Sandiacre Town, while South Normanton Athletic went through with a 2-0 home win over Gornal Athletic.
