Nathan Vernon was Traf's star man.

James Love netted Valley's solitary goal, while goalkeeper Phil Holden and James Thompson stood out in a battling team display.

Mancrief and Lloyd Henderson stood out for Angel.

A depleted Newlands side battled valiantly but lost 4-0 at Cleveland United.

Tyler Beck and veteran Joe Hakings impressed for Park, but Ellis Sellars was their man of the match.

Cayton Corinthians exited the competition after a poor first-half display saw them lose out 9-4 on the road at Cowton.

Goals from Nicko Dunn, Chris Hannam, Scott Davison and Dave Barber weren't enough to complete a turnaround, despite an improvement after the break.

Ryan Jones was Cayton's star man.

A last-gasp Rich Tolliday goal handed West Pier maximum points on the road at Fylingdales following an 11-goal thriller in Division One.

Smith was named Angel's man of the match.
