Spalding United pipped Deeping Rangers 2-1 in the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup to set up a mouthwatering preliminary round tie at Stamford AFC.

Liam Marshall’s blockbuster 13 minutes from time secured victory for the hosts at the Sir Halley Stewart Stadium against lower level opponents.

The Tulips squandered several first-half chances before Dylan Edge fired them in front.

A Luke Steele penalty dragged Deeping level before Marshall won the day. Spalding will travel to Stamford on Saturday, August 20.

Wisbech Town also made FA Cup progress as two goals apiece for Momodou Janneh and Kyle Onyon following a Kieran Hamilton strike saw the Fenmen to a 5-1 win over Ely.

Pinchbeck face a Wednesday replay at home to Melton Town after a 2-2 draw, but Yaxley and March Town suffered narrow defeats.

Blackstones are two wins from two in United Counties Division One after two stoppage time goals from Bailey Armiger and Luke Gove secured a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Rainworth Miners Welfare.

Bourne led through a Nathan Smith goal, but went doiwn 2-1 at Saffron Dynamo.
