Nine Toolstation NCEL sides have booked their place in next month's First Round Proper of this season's Isuzu FA Vase following victories on Saturday.

Four did it at the expense of league rivals with Bottesford Town, Emley AFC, Glasshoughton Welfare and Albion Sports victorious in all-NCEL clashes.

Mason Chaffer and Jack Griffin both netted for Bottesford towards the end of the first half of their home match with Rossington Main as they won 2-1 with Bradley Grayson halving the deficit midway through the second period.

Emley were 3-1 winners at Brigg Town with Samuel Pashley's opener for the Pewits on 29 minutes quickly cancelled out by Jack Cross for the hosts before James Walshaw restored the away side's lead in first half stoppage time and Ruben Jerome made sure of progression with the third on 71.

Glasshoughton raced into a 3-0 lead at home to Maltby Main, George Munashe Mwale's double sandwiching an Ashley Bell strike with Main pulling one back by the interval through Toby Kenyon.

Harrison Rowley halted the fightback with Welfare's fourth after the break and Luca Grant found the net for the Miners in a 4-2 home win for the Division One hosts over their Premier Division visitors.

And, Albion Sports won 3-0 at Harrogate Railway Athletic, Fernando Moke with a 66th minute breakthrough before Helmo Silva made sure with a double in the final moments of the tie.

And, there was a brace for Kayle Price as Silsden AFC made their way into Monday's draw for the next stage with a 3-1 home victory over Billingham Synthonia.

Liam Frost's penalty earned Retford FC a 1-1 home draw with Droylsden but the away side went through 5-3 on spot kicks, and Lewis Stephens gave Tadcaster Albion an early lead but they lost 2-1 to visitors Blyth Town.

And, Yorkshire Amateur also exited the competition, courtesy of a 5-0 home defeat at the hands of Bishop Auckland.

In the day's Premier Division action, second-placed Handsworth moved to within goal difference of the summit with a 2-1 home victory over Eccleshill United.

Craig Mitchell snatched an 89th minute winner after Emmanuel Amole had cancelled out their first half opener from Kieran Wells.

Frickley Athletic remain third, now two points behind the top two, after their 1-1 home draw with Barton Town, Callum Bradbury rescuing a point for them in stoppage time after Samuel Cable had opened the scoring for the Swans.

Campion climb to fifth with a 3-1 win at Pickering Town, Marcus Day grabbing a brace for the Red and Blacks, whilst the Pikes remain in the bottom four.

The match between Penistone Church and Garforth Town was abandoned after 65 minutes following a serious injury to Church keeper Harry Ambler and all at the NCEL wish him the best and a speedy recovery.

Wombwell Town's lead at the top of Division One has grown to five points after they won 2-1 at bottom side Swallownest.

Rikki Paylor put the visitors ahead on twelve minutes before Ebenezer Ansah equalised prior to half time with the winner coming early in the second period through Gadhafi Kiwanuka.
