First Round Proper draw
There's a lot at stake in the Fourth Round Qualifying of The FA Cup before the First Round Proper - and both Lincoln United and Cambridge United knew a home tie against Ilkeston Town awaited the winners of their tie on Sunday afternoon.
And it was Cambridge who were celebrating - the Conference Premier side won 3-1 away at Lincoln to earn themselves an appearance in the First Round of the world's greatest and oldest knockout competition.
Lincoln looked to be in charge when Jamie Forrester smashed home after four minutes to give Lincoln the lead, but Robbie Willmott scored a quickfire brace on 35 and 39 minutes to put Cambridge ahead.
Wayne Hatswell added a third just before the break as Cambridge ran riot - and now they can look forward to a place in the First Round Proper of The FA Cup.
Lincoln secretary John Wilkinson said: "It wasn't our day but the lads gave a very good account of themselves. We can leave The Cup with our heads held high."
