Having initially been held to a 1-1 draw on the Kent coast, Horsham made no mistake on home turf to emerge triumphant from their third qualifying round replay on Tuesday evening.

Elsewhere, ninth-tier Shifnal Town saw their FA Cup dreams come to an end at the hands of Hednesford Town.
Dan Trickett-Smith’s 67th-minute goal was enough to seal a 1-0 win at Keys Park, with the Pitmen advancing to a blockbuster home tie against National League Gateshead in the next round.
Leiston caused an upset at Hornchurch, forcing the game to extra-time through an Eddie Jackson equaliser before coming out 3-1 victors.
