Billingham Town reached the last 32 of the FA Vase with an exciting 4-3 home win over St Helens on Saturday.

Town blew a two goal lead, but they kept their nerve in the second period to go into the hat for the draw, which is now on a national basis.

Manager Alan Robinson said: "It was a great win because St Helens have been going well in their league.

"We outplayed them in the first half, and we recovered well when they hit back.

"We'd prefer a home game now, but I don't think we'd mind an away game too much as long as it's not at the other end of the country."

Town took an early lead when David Turner ran through and scored from a Jason Ainsley pass, and then skipper Richie Ward made it 2-0 when he headed in a Stuart Brightwell cross.

The visitors fought back when a miskick by Ward allowed Mischa Showers to pull a goal back, and then Craig Cunningham levelled with a shot that went in off the bar.

But Town responded well. After 65 minutes Lee Ure forced in a David Turner cross, and then Ainsley crossed from the left for Turner to score the fourth.

A late error by Town keeper Adam Clementson gave Cunningham an easy goal, but Town held on.

Town's neighbours Synthonia, lost 3-2 at home to Pickering after extra time.

Matt Swailes put Pickering into the lead after 18 minutes, and Synners were reduced to ten men when Craig Perry was dismissed for a foul.

However, they equalised with an Andrew Fletcher penalty and forced extra time.

Pickering went 2-1 up when John Brown scored from close range, but Fletcher levelled again with a header.

However, Pickering went through when Rob Eeles scored from a free kick in the dying minutes.

West Allotment reached the last 32 for the second successive year with a 2-1 win at Salford City, all the goals coming in the first half.

After Andy Purvis went close for the visitors, they took the lead when Michael Chilton raced clear of the home defence and slotted the ball past the keeper.

Salford levelled with a strike by Matt Barnes, only for Chilton to dribble through and score the winner just on the half time whistle.

Bedlington had a 3-2 win at Leamington, after being 2-0 in front at one point.

Robbie Cockburn helped on a Gareth McAlindon free kick for John Milner to head the opening goal after 17 minutes, and amost added a second through Danny Anderson, who hit the bar.

Cockburn missed a good chance at the start of the second half before Bedlington scored again, when Tony Shandran head in a Cockburn cross.

But Leamington hit back. John Blake scored and, with five minutes left, Richard Adams equalised.

However, Bedlington kept their heads, and Cockburn got the winner from the edge of the area in extra time.

Jarrow Roofing, who have never played in the last 32 before, won the all ANL game at Guisborough, claiming a 2-1 extra time victory.

Roofing took the lead when Craig Nelson scored from the spot after a cross from Keith Hutchinson, but Peter Masters fired the equaliser to force extra time.

Roofing got the winner when Nelson was brought down by Guisborough keeper Simon Corbett, and Justin Perry scored from the spot.

Durham produced a below-par performance and went out 2-1 at Tipton. Durham had the better of the opening 20 minutes but couldn't find a way through and they went behind on 30 minutes with a shot by Luke Reynolds.

City missed chances to equalise, but they went 2-0 down when Reynolds pounced on a loose ball to beat Adam Dowell.

City pulled a goal back through Stephen Stewart in a goalmouth scramble, but it wasn't enough.
