All Of Saturday's Action In The FA Trophy Third Round

By Sam Elliott

There were incredible comebacks, upsets and goals galore on FA Trophy Third Round day.

National League clubs joined the party this afternoon and while many avoided slip-ups, others weren’t as lucky.

The 2013 FA Trophy winners Wrexham bow out - Leamington of the National League North continue to respect no reputation.

The Brakes won 6-5 on penalties at the Racecourse Ground and it wasn’t the only shock.

Tim Flowers’ Barnet tenure started with a 3-1 defeat at Dorking Wanderers, Jason Prior and Luke Moore sealed the National League South side’s passage through.

Their title rivals, though, were defeated as Dartford went out at home to Haringey Borough.

The game of the day came at Wealdstone - if you follow Dean Brennan’s side, that is.

The Stones were 3-0 down at home to Eastleigh and looked to be heading out. But a stunning turn around was sealed by Jacob Mendy - and there was still time for late penalty drama.

Holders AFC Fylde are out, they took the lead after 20 seconds but Boston United bit back and won the tie on penalties at their new stadium.

After a home loss to Truro City, Concord Rangers are out - but they still have to play at Wembley in the 2020 final.

FC Halifax went through after a helter-skelter tie with Hartlepool as Dave Challinor, the last boss to lift the FA Trophy of course, was sent packing.

The game ended 3-3 but the Shaymen were super from the spot and go through.

It was just as dramatic at Weymouth who snuffed out a Maidenhead United comeback to win 3-2 - the winner was scored by Corey Jordan.

Solihull Moors needed to switch to 3G but they didn’t have any issues seeing to Farsley Celtic as it ended 4-0.

Woking won against Dover Athletic, turning things around quickly. Slavi Spasov coming up the a perfect present before Christmas for the club’s fans.

Stockport County survived a real scare to come from behind to beat Guiseley 3-1, pictured, as Alex Reid found his shooting boots.

Altrincham didn't miss home advantage - they won 2-1 at Chester with some great goals.

There was no issue for Notts County, they won well at Morpeth Town.

National League leaders Torquay United edged past Chesham United 1-0, while ruthless Dagenham put Ebbsfleet United to the sword 5-2.
