Dream debut for Dan as Bourne make FA Trophy progress and a David hat-trick for FA Vase winners FC Peterborough
Dan Forbes enjoyed a dream debut as Bourne Town made FA Trophy progress at the Abbey Lawn on Saturday.
The former Harborough Town forward scored twice in a 3-2 home win over Stoke-on-Trent side Hanley Town. Forbes’ goals gave Bourne a comfortable 2-0 cushion, but the visitors drew level before in-form Zac Allen claimed an 82nd minute winner in the second qualifying round tie.


And there was second qualifying round success for FC Peterborough In the FA Vase. David Yisah bagged a hat-trick for the city side who led 3-0 at half-time at Ipswich Wanderers before completing a 5-3 victory. Vitor Vaz and Mohamed Aziz Mhamdi also netted.
Holbeach United, who led at the break at North Kilworth, Netherton United, FC Parson Drove and Yaxley all bowed out of the Vase. Kyial West claimed a late consolation goal for Netherton in a 2-1 loss at home to Eynesbury Rovers and Leon Rist also scored late for Yaxley who went down 3-1 at home to Kirkley & Pakefield.
March Town required an 86th minute goal from Toby Allen against Mildenhall to maintain second spot in the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division.
Whittlesey Athletic’s stealthy progress up the Division One North table continued with a 2-1 win at Wroxham Reserves. Josh Whaley and Michael Nkwueke were their scorers.
Winless Deeping Rangers suffered a damaging United Counties Premier Division North defeat at Aylestone Park. It finished 3-0 to the home side in a battle between the bottom two teams in the division. Blackstones are third from bottom after a 3-1 beating at Sherwood Colliery. Josh Sennett scored their goal.
In-form pair Peterborough Sports and Spalding United won again today, but Stamford AFC suffered another defeat.
