Hide AdYaxley won 3-2 at Lowestoft despite conceding an equaliser from the penalty spot five minutes from time after an incident which led to a red card for Tom Waumsley. Andy Furnell’s side went straight down the other end to win the game with a Liam Hook goal.
“It was a strong performance from us,” Furnell said. “We didn’t get a kick for 30 minutes, but once we got a foothold in the game we exploited them really well.
“Obviously I’d rather have had a home draw, but win this one and then we could get drawn against one of the big boys in the next round.”
Sports won 3-2 at Hednesford in their third qualifying round tie on Saturday. They play a level higher than Felixstowe & Walton.
The ties will be played on Saturday, November 13. National League teams enter the competition in the second round.
