Seventh-tier Gainsborough & Harborough into round two


Seventh-tier Gainsborough & Harborough into round two

There will be two seventh-tier sides in the FA Cup second round after Gainsborough Trinity and Harborough Town both progressed on Saturday - in hugely contrasting manners.

Gainsborough beat eighth-tier Hednesford Town on penalties after an eight-goal thriller.

The two lowest-ranked sides left in the competition were locked at 4-4 after extra time before Jordan Helliwell sealed the shootout 5-4 for the Northern Premier League team.

Harborough, meanwhile, thrashed Tonbridge Angels 4-1 on their first-round proper debut, while National League sides Wealdstone, Dagenham and Redbridge and Oldham all beat League Two opposition.

National League South side Weston-super-Mare forced Bristol Rovers to extra time before going down 3-1, while Northern Premier League Guiseley were edged out 5-4 on penalties by Stevenage, of League One.
