Saturday 28 Nov 2015
FA Trophy third round qualifying ties took place on Saturday

Tamworth were the day's big winners in The FA Trophy as Ross Dyer netted a hat-trick to help his side to a 6-2 win away at Corby Town. 

The visitors got off to a flying start as Elliot Durrell fired them in front after 41 seconds before the hosts drew level and then took the lead with a spot-kick on 41 minutes. 

But Connor Taylor’s strike on 72 minutes started a miraculous final flurry with Curtis Strong putting them ahead on 75 minutes.

That was the catalyst for Dyer to put the game beyond doubt and he netted his first on 78 minutes before scoring again on 80 minutes and sealing the win in the dying minutes. 

There were plenty of high-scoring fixtures with Stourbridge picking up a 4-2 triumph at home to Spennymoor. 

Stour took the lead on 36 minutes thanks to Mark Wright only for Joe Tait to bring the visitors level four minutes later. 

And it was Spennymoor who took the advantage in the second half as Andrew Stevenson netted after 53 minutes. 

But that sparked a Stour assault and skipper Stuart Pierpoint restored parity with a header on 65 minutes. 

Justin Richards then gave his side the lead and, with three minutes to go, Wright scored his second to secure passage to the next round. 

It was the same score at Matlock as Danny Holland netted twice in the first period before Jack Siddall and Niall McManus made sure of the win. 

At Ebbsfleet, Matt Godden was the man of the moment as he scored twice in a 4-1 win over Molesey. 

Fleet’s top scorer opened his account after four minutes with a cool finish past Luke Allan before Danny Kedwell doubled the advantages minutes later after Godden’s effort was parried.

Godden made it three shortly after as Fleet rounded off a blistering eight-minute period.

Reis Stanislaus pulled one back for the visitors but Michael West restored the three-goal lead as the game entered its final moments. 

Maidenhead were the day’s other big winners and they have Harry Pritchard to thank after he scored either side of half-time to help down AFC Bideford 4-0.

Ten teams will have to go again as Frome drew 1-1 with Chesham United and Gainsborough played out a goalless draw with Ashton. 

There were no goals in Chorley where Skelmersdale were the visitors while Merthyr drew 1-1 with East Thurrock and it was also 1-1 in the match between Chelmsford and Gloucester City.
