FA Cup: FC Romania out and Salford City denied
- Published
FA Cup debutants FC Romania's dreams of reaching the first-round proper came to an end against Sutton United.
The Essex Premier Division side were beaten 3-2 in the second qualifying round.
Salford City, in the eighth tier of English football and part-owned by ex-Manchester United stars and billionaire Peter Lim, drew 1-1 with Ashton United.
Trevor Sinclair, 41, who came out of retirement this season, was on the bench as Lancaster City beat FC United.
Elsewhere, Northern Premier League Premier Division side Blyth Spartans, who have reached the first-round proper on 31 occasions, won 4-1 at Skelmersdale United.
Arguably the best individual performance of the round was at Terrace Road, where veteran striker Iyseden Christie, 37, scored six goals for Halesowen Town in their 7-1 win at 10th-tier side Ellistown and Ibstock United FC.
Conference South club Ebbsfleet also won 7-1, against Hythe Town, with Teddy Sheringham's son Charlie scoring twice in the rout.
There are two more rounds of qualifying left to play, with the draw for the next round on Monday.
