#mobileMOTD: Your pictures from the FA Cup fourth qualifying round

  • Published

Ninety minutes. That was all that separated hundreds of amateur footballers from a place in the first round of the FA Cup.

It was fourth qualifying round day and we wanted you to be a part of the action by sending us your pictures from up and down the country, via #mobileMOTD.

You did not disappoint us and the teams did not disappoint us as there were a host of shocks.

National League sides Gateshead and Wrexham lost at home to National League North teams Worcester City and Gainsborough Trinity respectively.

Salford City, co-owned by five former Manchester United players, beat a team two divisions above them, while Basingstoke Town, Maidenhead United and Stourbridge all gained 3-0 wins over National League clubs.

Here are the best pictures from a busy day of non-league football.

It was a crazy match at Havant and Waterlooville. This picture was taken in the 72nd minute as Cheltenham Town, second in the National League, went into a 3-1 lead. However, four minutes later the hosts, who play a level below the visitors in the National League South, had pulled it back to 3-3. That was how it finished so the sides will have to do it all again.
