National League South side Chippenham Town upset League One Lincoln City to reach the FA Cup second round for the first time in their history.
Alex Bray clipped the top of the League One side's crossbar with a cross after 14 minutes before Caine Bradbury forced Lincoln's Jordan Wright into a save at his near post a minute later.
Freddie Draper and Charles Vernam had chances for Lincoln while Chippenham's Harry Parsons saw a shot deflected wide after a good run into the box.
Wright made a good save from Joe Hanks before Hanks' goal for the non-league side a minute before the break as the striker backheeled into the net from six yards out.
Teddy Bishop had a couple of chances for Lincoln after the break as the League One side increased the pressure - Regan Poole forced a fingertip save from Will Henry with a header from a 77th-minute corner before the Imps had a goal disallowed for a foul in the build-up shortly after.
Joe Parker almost made it two in stoppage time but Wright did well to save his effort.
