"Hemel Hempstead Town will take their place in the main draw of the FA Cup for just the third time in 105 seasons after beating previous giant-killers Yeovil Town 2-1. The Tudors lost Isiah Noel-Williams to a straight red card for an off-the-ball incident after just 25 minutes, but took the lead through skipper Kyle Ajayi's low finish six minutes before the break."
"Yeovil, 11th in the National League, looked to have earned a replay when Harvey Greenslade levelled with 20 minutes left. But Finley Wilkinson headed an 87th-minute winner to send the National League South team into the first round proper for the first time in 11 years. The other two upsets on the day came in Kent. National League Solihull Moors lost 2-0 at National League South Ebbsfleet while the latter's local and divisional rivals Tonbridge Angels also bowed out."
"Managed by former Millwall stalwart Alan Dunne, who was on the bench for the Lions during the 2004 final against Manchester United, Angels lost 2-1 at home to Isthmian League Premier Division side Chatham Town, who reached round one for the first time in 97 years. Eighth tier Maldon & Tiptree of Isthmian League Division One North are the lowest-ranked team left in the competition with the first round draw taking place on Monday."
"The Jammers earned their sixth FA Cup win of the campaign - as many wins as a Premier League team would take to win the competition - having entered in the extra preliminary round on 1 August, beating Flackwell Heath 1-0. Former West Ham forward Freddie Sears headed the only goal of the game, in which the ambitious Essex side played the entire second half with 10-men, former Dagenham keeper Elliot Justham saved a penalty and ex-Charlton, QPR and Ipswich forward Macauley Bonne made his debut."
Hemel Hempstead Town beat Yeovil Town 2-1 to reach the FA Cup main draw for only the third time in 105 seasons.
