Retford United booked their place in The FA Trophy Third Round Qualifying on Tuesday night after a stunning 5-1 victory over Fleetwood Town at Cannon Park.

A brace from Mick Godber and further strikes from Neil Harvey and Ryan Hineley put the Unibond League One South table-toppers 4-0 up before Paul Haddow pulled a goal back late on for the visitors.

However, a thunderous strike from the edge of the area from Nick Goddard put the seal on a fantastic night for the Nottinghamshire club.

"We're absolutely delighted," said Retford Matchday Secretary John Hodgkinson.

"We played them off the park. It was a fantastic night for the club."

They will now host Radcliffe Borough of the Unibond League One North in the next round after the Bury-based team beat Chasetown 2-1 in their replay.

"We believe that on the day we'll be able to beat them," added Hodgkinson.
Elsewhere, Worthing claimed a notable 3-1 victory away at fellow Isthmian League Division One South club Walton and Hersham in a match that went to extra time.

Their victory sets up a tie in the Third Round Qualifying at Conference South club Dorchester Town.

Bamber Bridge won 3-2 away at Marine, Northwood beat AFC Hornchurch   2-1 and Leamington and Gloucester City both progressed to the next round after 1-0 away victories at Margate and Hillingdon Borough respectively.

Evesham United beat Corby Town 4-2, whilst King's Lynn claimed a 3-1 victory at Billericay Town.

After notching an 88th-minute equaliser against Mangotsfield United at home on Saturday, Leatherhead triumphed on penalties in the replay.
