Biggleswade United 4 Saffron Walden Town 4 (AET)

It will be interesting to see how Tuesday’s reply pans out after the first installment porudced 8 goals in a Vase thriller on Friday evening. Saffron Walden Town will feel that they threw it away as they raced into a 3-0 lead courtesy of goals from Charlie Cole (2) and Gavin Cockman. However the hosts then made a complete recovery with Enrique Amador scoring a hat-trick to level the tie. The Bloods took the lead in extra time via Ryan Fleiming but Kieran Igbanol then equalised setting up a game on Tuesday, by which point they will know who awaits in the next round.

The Tons came back to claim a share of the spoils on Friday evening that sees them move away from the drop zone. The Woods dominated large parts of the game but only had a 40^th minute goal from Tola Odedoyin for their efforts. However Clapton did not roll over and levelled the game in the 86^th minute after Francesco Cicconi pounced on a ball that came off the cross bar and his cross shot was turned in by a Woodford Town player. At the death the Tons then almost captured all the points when Dos Santo rounded the keeper but then had the ball removed from his possession as he was about to shoot. The Woods sit 9^th after this.
