Eleven KoolSport NCEL teams have joined Thackley and Bridlington Town in the First Round of the FA Vase.

Five of them are Division One sides with AFC Emley, Barton Town Old Boys, Leeds Carnegie, Louth Town, Staveley Miners Welfare progressing at the weekend.

A late Richard Medcalf brace helped Barton Town to a 3-0 win at home to Pinxton whilst AFC Emley went through by the same scoreline over visitors Rossington Main.

A double each from Chris Coy and Aymen Tahar saw Staveley go through with an impressive 4-0 win at home to Atherton Collieries.

Carnegie and Louth were victors on their travels with Leeds going through 1-0 at Horden Colliery Welfare, courtesy of a Paul Harrison goal in the 42nd minute.

And, Louth Town produced a shock with a 2-1 win at Premier Division side Lincoln Moorlands Railway.

Kurt Crossley and Danny Kilmore struck twice in a minute to put them in control before the interval.

Ben Good pulled one back for the home side but they could not find an equaliser to force a replay.

But, six top flight sides did taste victory, the biggest being Hallam's 6-2 thumping of Penrith at Sandygate.

Scott Preece struck a hat-trick for the hosts whilst Martin Brissett, Joe Boggild and Reece Littlejohn also joined in the scoring.

Liam Wilkin struck twice in the opening seventeen minutes before James O'Neill delivered the killer blow shortly after the interval.

Two goals in the last ten minutes from Jevaise Christie helped Arnold Town progress with a 4-2 victory at Calverton Miners Welfare.

And, Scarborough Athletic overcame what had been a difficult week for them off-the-pitch with a 3-2 win at home to Crook Town to set up a First Round clash with their landlords, Bridlington.

Scott Phillips scored two, adding to Rob Northen's opener, to surely send some cheer to boss Brian France who remains in hospital.

Liversedge and Eccleshill United could not be separated in 120 minutes of football in their all-NCEL clash and so will replay on Tuesday.
