Sports beat East Thurrock 3-2 at the Bee Arena to book a tie at Bishop’s Stortford, while Deeping won by the same scoreline at higher-level AFC Sudbury to earn a trip to Hendon. Both games will take place on September 21.

An early Dan Lawlor penalty saw Sports hit the front and Cameron Johnson’s strike from a Lewis Hilliard scross made it 2-1 after East Thurrock had found an equaliser. Dion Sembie-Ferris made it 3-1 in the second-half before the visitors pulled a goal back late on.

Deeping fought back from conceding a first-minute goal to ensure they travelled further in the competition than ever before. Sam Murphy soon headed an equaliser and Jordan Macleod fired the United Counties Premier Division side in front.
