Goals Galore On Big National League And FA Cup Evening

It’s York City who pocket a six-figure cheque after making it through to round two - securing a televised tie with Wigan Athletic in the process.

Two goals from Lenell John-Lewis did the job against a determined Chester, who battled on until the full-time whistle but the Minstermen went through 2-1.

It wasn’t to be for Slough Town, who despite a brave first half comeback were hit for seven at Grimsby Town. Scarborough Athletic also had a tough night as League Two Forest Green punished the Seadogs as they hit five.

It was a big night in the National League North - especially at the top.

Leaders Scunthorpe United were gunned down at King’s Lynn Town, Josh Coulson and George Morrison's double did for the pace-setters.

South Shields turned on the style at Spennymoor Town to give the teams at the top plenty to think about.

Paul Blackett’s first half double was added to by Aaron Martin and Lirak Hasan after half-time. Blackett completed his hat-trick in the closing stages.

But it's Tamworth who take over the leadership - a late winner from Nathan Tshikuna at Bishop's Stortford was a big boost for the out-of-form Lambs.

Goals from Alex Wall, Luke Coulson and Jordan Wynter before the break gave Alan Dowson’s Dartford a big victory against fellow play-off chasers Worthing in a 4-3 thriller on the south coast.

Braintree were also brilliant in the first half. Shaquile Coulthirst, Aaron Blair and Matt Ward got the job done early for the Iron at home to Welling United.
