NON-LEAGUE: Viera at the double for Sports, but Daniels beaten
Top scorer Avelino Vieira scored inside two minutes and added a second goal soon afterwards as the competition favourites took total control.
But Sports, despite having numerous chances, failed to kill the game off enabling Yaxley to cause a few problems towards the end of the game, particularly after Liam Hook had pulled a goal back midway through the second half.

Sports’ exertions in the FA Vase win at Wembley at the weekend caught up with them towards the end, but they survived to set up a semi-final against United Counties Division One side Potton United, who were surpse 1-0 winners over Premier Division Eynesbury.
There was disappointment for Stamford AFC who went down 1-0 at Lincoln United in Division One South of the Northern Premier Division.
The hosts deserved their winner which arrived midway through the second half as the Daniels dropped a place to 17th.
