A second-half brace from Simon Carden ensured FC United continued on the road Wembley as they booked their place in round two of the FA Vase.

The midfielder struck on 65 and 73 minutes before top-scorer Stuart Rudd completed the 3-0 win against Division Two outfit Padiham in the final minute.

Atherton Collieries will also be in today's draw for the next round after they enjoyed a superb 4-0 home victory against previously unbeaten Cheshire outfit Winsford United.

Jermaine Peters, Anthony Pilkington (2) and Andy Harvie were on target as Colls overcame the high-flying visitors from the league below and stretched their unbeaten run to an impressive seven matches.
