Well done Forest Green Rovers who beat AFC Wimbledon on Kingfield and Altrincham who put out Barnsley's dying embers 1-0. What chance of a managerial change on Monday in South Yorkshire?
Crewe lost to Eastleigh 0-1 and that's about it for giant killing.
Left in the draw are Welling United, who took care of the smallest club in the round, the "large village" of Barwell, a Northern Premier League side, that sports bright yellow and green kit and therefore the club is nicknamed the Canaries-original?
The club was formed in 1992 through the merger of Midland League side Barwell Athletic FC and the demise of Hinckley United FC. Their record crowd is 1940 who turned up in their most recent promotion year to watch FC United in April 2013.
This year's cup run dispatched Westfields FC (from Hereford) 4-1, winning £3,000, then Cogenhoe United (Northampton based) 5-0, worth £4,500, Kings Lynn 1-0 (£7,500) and AFC Rushden and Diamonds, after 2-2 at home and 1-0 away. (£12,500). Today the club would have earned £18,000. BUT WELLING DID!!

Barwell is in Leicestershire and has a population of under 9,000, but has developed as a Community Charter Standard Club which means they provide football for the local area and host a number of different teams of boys and girls from 3-16 years old. Then there are the open age teams. Barwell gets its name from "a boar that drinks at the well or stream" and is home to local shoe and hosiery manufacturing, as well as being a site where a series of meteorites landed around Christmas in 1965 and caused damage but insurance claims were hard to make due to "an act of God".
More cup ties tomorrow and Monday.
