    FA Cup first round

    The teams lowest-ranked in the competition had mixed afternoons at the FA Cup coalface.

    Eighth-tier Ramsgate had a fantastic home win over Woking to move into the second round, winning 2-1.

    Whitby of the seventh tier were thrashed away at Bristol Rovers, while Bracknell were narrowly edged out by a Cambridge side 94 places above them.

    Fellow step-seven side Chesham lost at home to Maidstone, while up north Marine were battered by Harrogate.

    The only other eighth-tier team, Ramsgate's promotion rivals Cray Valley PM, face a trip to Charlton of League One tomorrow evening.

    Cambridge Utd 2-1 Bracknell

    Ben Harris' late goal gave Bracknell hope of a grandstand finale but the 94 places between the sides eventually proved just too much of a gap to close.

    Back to the Southern League Premier for the Robins, while the Us are through to round two.

    Hereford 0-2 Gillingham

    Swindon 4-7 Aldershot

    An extraordinary game comes to an end at the County Ground.

    Aldershot become the first ever non-league side to score seven goals against league opponents.

    Four late goals for Swindon takes a bit of the gloss off the scoreline, but The Shots are through to the second round.

    Bristol Rovers 7-2 Whitby

    There was plenty to be proud of for Whitby of the Northern Premier League Premier Division but unfortunately Junior Mondal and Connor Simpson's goals were the best it got against League One Bristol Rovers.

    The managerless Pirates were kept honest in the first-half, before their fitness and quality took over and the scoreline blew out.

    Important win for Rovers and important money in the coffers for Whitby.

    Marine 1-5 Harrogate Town

    No giantkilling in Crosby, as Marine are overpowered in the end by League Two strugglers Harrogate.

    The step seven side were dogged in the first half and pulled level, but the Sulphurites were ruthless after the break and marched on to score five.

    Late drama...

    Some game at Meadow Lane as Macaulay Langstaff has put Notts County 3-2 up against Crawley and Shrewsbury lead Colchester by the same score line.

    Peterborough have equalised against Salford to make it 2-2.

    Tranmere's Kieron Morris has made it 3-3 late in their game at Stevenage.

    And Yeovil still lead Gateshead 3-1 in that game.

    Scarborough Ath 1-1 Forest Green

    Forest Green's late equaliser by Olly Sully spares their blushes against National League North side Scarborough Athletic.

    It was injury-time, and denied the Seadogs a definite place in round two after Alex Wiles had opened the scoring.

    They'll go again but at least are in the hat.

    Scarborough Ath 1-0 Forest Green

    3,216 fans are packed into the old 'Flamingo Land' today, and they're minutes away from celebrating a fantastic scalp.

    National League North side Scarborough Athletic, a phoenix club formed from the ashes of the old Scarborough, are back with a vengeance today. First time in round one today and maybe now round two.

    Thoughts with the 162 who are facing a miserable trip home from the seaside at this rate.
