Only one more seventh-tier side also made it through Tuesday's nine replays - Northern Premier League club Nantwich Town beat Southern League Premier Division rivals Kettering Town 1-0.

The Dabbers were indebted to Will Jaaskelainen - the son of former Bolton goalkeeper Jussi - as he saved a penalty in the 89th minute to set up an away tie at League Two Stevenage.

Meanwhile the lowest-ranked side left in the fourth qualifying round replays - Ossett Town from the eighth-tier Northern Premier League Division One North - were beaten 2-1 at home by National League side Solihull Moors who get a home tie against Wycombe Wanderers of League Two.
