Dan's the STAR MAN; Lennon comes on to turn tie for the Robins The FA CUP e.on.

Evesham United 2

Chasetown 0

DANNY LENNON came off the bench 13 minutes from time to fire Evesham into the fourth qualifying round of this year's FA Cup competition.

The substitute did superbly well to send in a cross with just two minutes remaining that United captain Steve Lutz helped into the path of Mark Owen, who netted from two yards.

And, two minutes into stoppage time, Lennon raced on to a pass from Danny Scheppel and shot past Chasetown keeper Ryan Price from just inside the area.

Itwas a topsy-turvy afternoon forOwen who hit a post after just four minutes and then saw his penalty six minutes later saved by Chasetown keeper Price.

Last year's giant-killers Chasetown had their chances in an open first half but both Dean Perrow and Gary Birch were wasteful when finding themselves in good positions.

Michael Bachelor and Scheppel both saw first-half efforts clear the visiting side's crossbar while home goalkeeper Nathan Vaughan made the save of the half when keeping out a free-kick from Mark Branch.

Price made a fine stop to deny Simon Fitter three minutes after the restart and then kept out a 20-yard shot from Lutz.

The action instantly switched to the other end where Vaughan saved well from Craig Holland who had found himself clear in front of goal.

Mark Hands headed Fitter's 72ndminute free-kick over the crossbar and four minutes later Chasetown's Branch saw his corner rebound into play off the woodwork.

Lennon replaced Gary Hay and started to torment the visiting side's defence before sending over the cross that saw Owen finally break the deadlock and then secure a home win with a finish in stoppage time.

Tamworth 3

East Thurrock 1

TAMWORTH eased into the next round of the Cup in front of the FA's own Road to Wembley cameras and will be hopeful of a plum home-tie in a fortnight's time.

They secured the win thanks to firsthalf goals from debutant Tom Shaw and Bradley Pritchard before Gareth Sheldon fired a peach of a free kick around the wall and past the deserving dive of Richard Wray on 64 to put the game beyond any doubt.

Shaw's close-range strike on 17 minutes was much deserved after a solid show from the ex-Mansfield player and Pritchard finished a fine move into the area two minutes later after a neat onetwo with Nick Wright before slotting home.

Thurrock substitute Martin Llewellyn put Kris Newby's free-kick past David Bevan from close-range to reduce the arrears with five minutes remaining but it was little more than consolation as had Alex Rodman been a little more accurate with his finishing the winning margin would have been a lot wider.

Hendon 1

AFC Telford United 2

AFC TELFORD are just one win from the first-ever appearance in the first round proper of the FA Cup after battling their way to a 2-1 victory over Ryman League side Hendon.

The Bucks took the lead after just 11 minutes, Terry Fearns heading in off Lee Vaughan's cross from the right flank.

The visitors looked like they could go on to win convincingly from that point with Hendon at sixes and sevens in defence.

As it was, it took until 44 minutes for the Shropshire side to double their advantage, Lee Moore running unchallenged into the penalty area and steering a well-placed shot into the bottom corner.

The second half was a more messy affair, not helped by some baffling decisions from referee Carl Berry. The strangest of the lot came three minutes into injury time when Hendon were awarded a penalty after Harry Hunt's cross struck Telford defender Indy Khela full in the face.

Mr Berry pointed to the spot, indicating a handball that only he had seen. Brian Haule tucked away the penalty but it was to no avail for Hendon as the final whistle sounded straight after the restart.

Atherstone Town 1

Chipstead 1

A LATE Ashley Wells' equaliser kept Atherstone's interests in the FA Cup alive.

But the Warwickshire side now face a tricky trip to Surrey for Tuesday's replay.

It was the visitors who took an early lead when Gavin Quintyne played a ball in for Danny Oakins who prodded home from close range on 13 minutes.

It was cruel on the Adders who had a string of first - half opportunities the pick of which saw shots from Luke Barlone and Kyle Storer cleared off the line.

And the home side's hopes were dealt a further blowmidway through the second period when, having used their full quota of subs, central defender Jake Woolaston was carried off with a suspected broken ankle.

But the 10 men raised their game in the final stages and were rewarded on 81 minutes when Storer sent Wells racing clear of the Chipstead defence before firing home the equaliser.

Halesowen Town 1

Maidstone United 4

HALESOWEN'S Cup dreams ended after paying for conceding three goals in a disastrous four-minute spell at the end of the first half.

Darren Caskey cleared a first minute effort from Maidstone's Andy Martin off the line before Lee Canoville volleyed wide of the visiting goal on 12 minutes with the goal at his mercy.

After the even opening, Jay Denny put the Yeltz ahead by heading home a 27thminute cross from Canoville.

But the Stones then enjoyed a good spell with Martin hitting high off target.

The half-time team talks were then completely altered by an incredible few minutes before the break.

Maidstone levelled in the 43rd minute after Tom Kemp failed to clear and Meshaach Nugent turned to slam home.

Jay Saunders bundled the ball into the net to put Maidstone ahead in the 45th minute after Ian Cox met a corner kick.

The visitors then took an incredible 3-1 lead in first-half injury time with Lloyd Blackman curling home a beautiful shot from the edge of the area beyond goalkeeper Chris Sanna.

The home defence was pulled apart again at the start of the second half but Nugent blazed high in front of goal.

Despite some good Halesowen pressure the visiting defence held firm although a 62nd-minute free-kick from substitute Mark Danks dipped just over the bar.

Maidstone rubbed salt into the wounds when Ian Selley slammed home a 76thminute penalty to make it 4-1 after Kemp handled.

Hitchin Town

Hinckley United 2

HINCKLEY'S Andy Hall had a ball at Top Field after volleying his side into the next round of the Cup with the last kick of the game.

The first half was dominated by the Blue Square North visitors, and they finally went ahead on 53 minutes when a left wing cross from Connor Franklin found Hall in space who made no mistake with his head from 10 yards out.

The BGB Premier Division hosts were given a late-life line when after 88 minutes they were awarded a penalty after the visitors veteran goalkeeper Chris Mackenzie was penalised for a foul.Tyron Sealey made no mistake from the spot and sent the majority of the 503-strong crowd into raptures.

A midweek replay seemed on the cards until four minutes into stoppage time when Hall smashed a half-volley into the roof of the net

Bishops Stortford 2

Rugby Town 1

AN INJURY-time penalty from home substitute Piers Wixon ended Rugby's Cup run.

There were just moments to play when the referee pointed to the spot following an alleged handball, a decision that outraged the Southern Premier side.

Bishops Stortford has shaded the firsthalf chances with Roy Essendoh twice rattling the woodwork The Blue Square South side took a 58yjh-minute lead when Danny Harris scrambled the ball home and Rugby's hopes looked dashed when they were reduced to ten men soon after.

But the visitors equalised on 72 minutes through a Neil King header to set tup a thrilling finale.
