Chester held Vanarama National League York to a goalless draw to earn an FA Cup first round replay.

Chester looked good early on, with Olly Green being first to have a shot, but York’s Liam Edwards made a block six minutes in.

George Glendon then fired wide for the hosts.

Quevin Castro came close for the visitors, but his powerful shot was deflected behind for a corner.

Glendon then hit a volley wide after Declan Weeks’ cross was spilled.

Charlie Caton headed Weeks’ corner wide in the 86th minute.

Ten-man Port Vale earned an FA Cup first-round replay against fellow League One side Burton after battling to a goalless draw.

Captain Nathan Smith was given a straight red card in the first half, but Burton failed to make their one-man advantage count.

Vale midfielder Ben Garrity went close to opening the scoring early on as his header from Tom Sang’s free-kick hit the top of the crossbar.

The hosts continued to look lively and press forward, but their momentum was halted in the 18th minute when Smith saw red for bringing down Mark Helm.

Joe Powell struck the crossbar from the resulting free-kick before Garrity’s deflected effort went over after team-mate Uche Ikpeazu won the ball off Burton goalkeeper Max Crocombe.

The visitors threatened to snatch the lead just before half-time, but Mustapha Carayol’s shot was cleared off the line by Sang.

Albion went close again on a couple of occasions in the second half, with Powell nearly catching out Valiants stopper Connor Ripley with a speculative attempt from inside his own half and substitute Cole Stockton striking the inside of the post.

Down at the other end, Crocombe made an excellent save late on to thwart Vale substitute Ryan Loft’s effort from Alfie Devine’s cross.

Burton finally found the net in the dying moments, but it was ruled out for offside and ensured a replay will be required to separate the two teams.

Struggling Reading enjoyed a brief respite from their Sky Bet League One woes when they eased to a 3-2 victory over MK Dons in the FA Cup first round.

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan fired the home side into a third-minute lead but the League Two side deservedly levelled through Alex Gilbey in the 39th minute.

Reading struck twice in four minutes after the hour mark, with goals from Harvey Knibbs and Lewis Wing effectively settling the tie before Max Dean pull one back in stoppage time for the Dons.

Reading, bottom of League One after losing their last five matches, made a sharp opening.

Wing threaded a fine pass through to top scorer Ehibhatiomhan and, after cleverly cutting inside, he lashed home his sixth goal of the season.

A sparse crowd provided little encouragement to either side but the visitors proved the livelier up until the interval, with Gilbey twice testing debutant home goalkeeper Joel Pereira.

Gilbey got his reward six minutes before the break, sliding in to tap home an excellent low cross from Cameron Norman.

Reading dominated most of the second half, regaining their lead in the 64th minute when Knibbs glanced in a header from Wing’s free kick.

More slack Dons defending soon after allowed Wing to slot home from close range to seal the win, with Dean’s scrambled effort coming too late to affect the outcome.

Macaulay Langstaff’s late strike ensured Notts County’s passage to the second round of the FA Cup with a thrilling 3-2 win over Crawley.

Danilo Orsi had given the visitors the lead and levelled the scores at 2-2 after Dan Crowley and David McGoldrick had the hosts in front, before substitute Langstaff came off the bench to send the Magpies through.

The visitors’ fast start was rewarded as Orsi’s first effort hit the post, only for the ball to fall back into his path to open the scoring in the third minute.

The hosts levelled 10 minutes later when Crowley finished from close range after good work from Tobi Adebayo, then Crowley turning provider early in the second half to set up McGoldrick for the goal which had County ahead.

Orsi restored parity in the contest by turning home Kellan Gordon’s inviting cross midway through the second half.

However, home boss Luke Williams introduced his top scorer from the bench and he took just seven minutes to steer home McGoldrick’s cross and earn County a place in the second round for the first time since 2019.

Wycombe weathered a second-half fightback to edge past Bradford 2-1 in their FA Cup first-round tie.

The Chairboys took control against their League Two opponents with two first-half goals.

But the home side came on strong after the break to make Matt Bloomfield’s side work hard for their win.

Wycombe had gone in front on 19 minutes as David Wheeler nodded down Ryan Tafazolli’s deep cross for Killian Phillips to run onto and smash past Harry Lewis from 12 yards.

Wycombe doubled the lead in the 35th minute. Freddie Potts won the ball back from Emmanuel Osadebe near the Bradford penalty area and home defender Sam Stubbs headed the cross into his own net.

Managerless Bradford were much more of an attacking threat in the second half.

Max Stryjek tipped away Jamie Walker’s shot and then produced a superb reflex save to keep out a header from Andy Cook.

But Walker pulled one back on 64 minutes to set up a tense finish as Bradford pressed hard for an equaliser.

Vanarama National League South outfit Maidstone booked their place in the FA Cup second round with a 2-0 win at seventh-tier Chesham.

The hosts, who play in the Southern League Premier South Division, started brightly and almost snatched an early lead when Ricardo German’s effort struck the crossbar.

Maidstone went ahead in the 13th minute when Devonte Aransibia converted a low cross from Liam Sole at the far post.

Chesham hit the woodwork again when Eoin Casey’s header from a free-kick by Bruno Andrade cannoned against the post.

Hopes of a comeback faded, though, when substitute Levi Amantchi volleyed in a second for Maidstone from close range with 15 minutes left for his 14th goal of the season.

The Generals almost pulled a goal back late on when Rhys Murrell-Williamson’s free-kick was pushed wide by Maidstone goalkeeper Lucas Covolan.

Jack Barham scored a stunning hat-trick as National League Aldershot annihilated Swindon 7-4 at the County Ground.

The non-leaguers got off to the perfect start as Josh Stokes teed up Barham to tuck home the opener inside the first minute.

The Shots were in dreamland two minutes later as Murphy Mahoney was caught on the ball in the corner by Barham and he turned and chipped the ball into an unguarded net.

Swindon were 3-0 down with just 10 minutes played as Barham turned
creator by playing in Lorent Tolaj, who slipped in an easy pass for Stokes to turn home.

Tolaj scored twice either side of the break, with the second a screamer from outside the area, either side of a cool Cian Harries penalty as the Shots went 6-0 up.

Barham completed his hat-trick with a close-range header before Dan
Kemp pulled a pair of goals back with two fabulous strikes from the
edge of the area and Charlie Austin headed in two stoppage-time goals for the hosts.

Kyle Wootton hit four goals to help Stockport ease past Worksop with a 5-1 win in the FA Cup first round.

County booked their place in round two at the Northern Premier League side’s expense and were rarely troubled in a one-sided tie.

Wootton gave them the lead in the 14th minute. Paddy Madden slipped Jayden Richardson in and his ball across goal gave Wootton a simple finish at point-blank range.

The Tigers drew level midway through the first half, however. A free kick into County’s box was headed on by Liam Hughes and, when George Taft knocked it into Jay Rollins’ path, his fierce finish into the roof of the net was emphatic.

Wootton restored Stockport’s lead seven minutes before the break. Callum Camps beat Worksop keeper Paul Cooper to Madden’s pass and, with Cooper stranded, Camps played in Wootton for another close-range goal.

Nick Powell had two chances late in the half but sent one into the side netting and fired the other straight at Cooper.

Richardson should have hit Stockport’s third as the break loomed but blazed wildly over when Joel Cotterill picked him out at the back post.

Worksop’s leading scorer Hughes sent a header narrowly wide from Terry Hawkridge’s cross just before the hour mark.

That was as good as it got for the Tigers though, as Wootton slotted in his third on 67 minutes and headed in a Madden cross moments later.

Stockport substitute Odin Bailey completed Worksop’s misery with seven minutes remaining, cutting in from the right and finding the bottom corner of Cooper’s goal.

Nicke Kabamba struck the only goal as 10-man Barnet reached the FA Cup second round following a hard-fought victory at Curzon Ashton.

Kabamba headed in Finley Potter’s cross from close range for his 12th goal of the season with what proved the winning goal in the 15th minute.

Idris Kanu was denied a second by Curzon goalkeeper Cameron Mason but Barnet debutant Connor Stevens was sent off three minutes before half-time for a second yellow card after a foul on Will Hayhurst.

Curzon, of National League North, came close to an equaliser in first-half stoppage time when Jimmy Spencer saw his shot cleared off the line by Potter.

A stunning save from Barnet goalkeeper Laurie Walker prevented Craig Mahon from levelling with a long-range volley 10 minutes into the second half.

Callum Stead was just off target from a tight angle as Barnet, second in the National League, looked to kill the game off but they held on to extend their unbeaten run to 10 games in all competitions.

Cambridge United held off a late Bracknell Town fightback to win 2-1 and progress in the FA Cup.

The Sky Bet League One side provided a moment of quality to take the lead after 27 minutes when Fejiri Okenabirhie exchanged passes with Adam May before firing unstoppably into the top corner.

It ended a streak of 16 consecutive fixtures in which the U’s had failed to score in the first half.

Bracknell, 94 places below their opponents in the pyramid, looked to have ruined any hopes of a comeback three minutes after half-time when a dreadful mix-up at the back resulted in Olukayode Osu putting through his own goal.

The Southern League Premier Division South side saw strong shouts for a penalty waved away after 67 minutes following Zeno Ibsen Rossi’s challenge on Ben Harris, with assistant manager Lee Riddell sent off for his protests.

The visitors did set up an intriguing finale three minutes from the end as Max Herbert’s cross was fired in by Harris from close range.

Non-league Marine’s dreams of another magical FA Cup run were emphatically ended with a 5-1 first-round hammering by Harrogate.

The Mersey club famously reached the third round proper in the 1991-92 season and played Premier League Tottenham two years ago.

Abraham Odoh got the visitors off to the perfect start as he hammered home from inside the box in the fifth minute.

Chris Doyle drew the seventh-tier side level with his back-post header in the 26th minute.

Sam Folarin restored the visitors’ lead three minutes later as he completed a counter-attack by skipping past Blackburn loanee goalkeeper Felix Goddard and tapped into the empty net.

Finlay Sinclair-Smith rattled the crossbar for the minnows before Lewis Thomas made a good save from Sol Solomon’s back-heeled rebound.

Solomon was frustrated again on the stroke of half-time when Matt Foulds cleared his effort off the line.

Folarin put the game to bed eight minutes after the restart as he latched onto a loose ball to add a third.

Rod McDonald volleyed home the fourth with 19 minutes to go before Stephen Dolley added the gloss at the end.

Newport eased through to the FA Cup second round with a 2-0 home win over Oldham at Rodney Parade thanks to two goals from defender Shane McLoughlin.

The right wing-back opened the scoring after 20 minutes as he drilled in at the back post to convert Matty Bondswell’s cross before sealing victory with a long-range effort 10 minutes from time.

County goalkeeper Nick Townsend ensured his side led at the break with a superb save to deny Joe Nuttall after 44 minutes following McLoughlin’s earlier opener.

Omar Bogle almost doubled the hosts lead soon after the restart, but he stabbed wide from Will Evans’ cross.

Aaron Wildig then saw a shot cleared off the line for the Welsh side as they pushed for the killer second goal.

Oldham substitute Alex Reid almost made an instant impact as he forced Townsend into another smart save with his first involvement.

The visitors put the pressure on the home side as they chased a leveller, but McLoughin’s second strike ensured County are in the hat.

Ian Evatt secured his first ever FA Cup managerial win as League One Bolton hammered National League Solihull Moors 4-0 at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

Goals from skipper Ricardo Santos, Paris Maghoma, Will Forrester and substitute Dion Charles, who also had a penalty saved, earned Evatt overdue success after five previous knockouts, including three with the Trotters.

The four-time cup winners had not enjoyed victory in the competition since 2019 when, as a Championship club, they beat Walsall 5-2.

Solihull, who finished with 10 men after captain Jamey Osborne’s stoppage-time dismissal, never threatened to inflict more misery on Evatt or his club.

On-loan teenager Tommy Simkin saved from Maghoma, who also hit the bar, and Dan Nlundulu before Ricardo headed in Aaron Morley’s 39th-minute corner.

Maghoma made it 2-0 in the 51st minute after James Clarke cleared off the line from Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.

Wanderers keeper Nathan Baxter, a one-time teenage Moors loanee, made a rare save to deny Richard Stearman after 58 minutes.

Forrester netted his maiden Trotters goal after 69 minutes and though Charles was denied by Simkin from the spot, he atoned three minutes from time.

League Two Morecambe came from behind to dump Lincoln out of the FA Cup with a 2-1 first-round win.

Lasse Sorensen opened the scoring for the third-tier hosts in the 14th minute as he slid in to meet Danny Mandriou’s pinpoint cross at the far post.

But the in-form Shrimps stretched their fine streak to just one defeat in their last 10 matches n in all competitions.

Loanees Michael Mellon and Tom Bloxham did the damage with strikes in each half.

Burnley’s Mellon turned the game on its head on the stroke of half-time when he converted Adam Mayor’s whipped corner.

And Shrewsbury’s Bloxham rounded hapless Lukas Jensen to give Derek Adams’ side the lead eight minutes after the restart.

The Danish stopper produced a full-stretch save to keep out Bloxham on the hour before the hosts scrambled a Bloxham effort off the line minutes later.

There was a break in play as the sprinklers were inadvertently switched on at all four corners.

Adam Jackson almost earned a replay when he nodded against the post late on.

Eighth-tier Ramsgate pulled off a shock 2-1 win over Vanarama National League side Woking at the WW Martin Community Stadium to book their place in round two of the FA Cup.

The Cardinals had taken the lead in the 13th minute through Dennon Lewis after he was played in by midfielder Morgan Williams.

Isthmian League South East Division side Ramsgate, though, slowly grew into the game and were back on level terms five minutes before the interval.

A long ball sent TJ Jadama behind the Woking defence and the midfielder stabbed the ball past Woking goalkeeper Will Jaaskelainen.

After seeing a goal ruled out just before the hour for offside, the Rams put themselves in front with 18 minutes left through a well-struck free-kick from Lee Martin.

Woking, who sit mid-table in the National League, pressed for an equaliser late on, forcing a couple of corners, but the Rams held out for a memorable win.
